Utah Code 78-23-1 ..."a person's homestead is exempt from judicial lien, levy execution or forced sale.." There are exceptions such as state and/or federal taxes, child and/or spousal support and some assessment procedures. This means the primary residence cannot be attached by creditors in any capacity. For all other purposes such as a tax lien, the homestead exemption in such cases would be $20,000. The SOL for open accounts is 4 years, for written accounts it is 6 years. The time limit for a creditor to sue is not possible to estimate, as civil court system vary greatly state-to-state in operational capacity, backlogs, preliminary procedures, etc. The average for creditor suits in the U.S. is 15-18 months (usually longer) from time of filing to court date. The SOL only applies to lawsuits it has no bearing on how long a creditor can pursue collection actions.

In New Jersey what is the statute of limitation when a person moves out of a house and leaves personal items there how long do they have to remove them?

I don't think the statute of limitation applies. Ownership of the property will rule. If the house was sold, whatever remains now belongs to the buyer. If the place was rented, once the tenants move out and the lease expired, the items are considered abandoned. If it's a divorce or break up, rommate leaving, or a child leaves the parents home, (same owner or lease holder) then the owner of the home would be able to claim title unless specified otherwise, although some reasonable effort to notify the person should be made so that it is not assumed that they could store things there indefinitely.

Can a creditor take away your house?

Answer I seriously doubt if any one creditor can take your house especially if it's not paid off and you are still making payments on it. What a creditor can do though is force you into declaring Bankrupcy and at that point depending on how much money is owed on your home either the house would be sold and the money distrubuted amoungst your creditors or the bank where you got your mortage would re-sell the house.
