If one party in an action does not appear at the trial/hearing the court can make a default judgment. This judgment is binding unless overturned at a later date.
No, it is levied against your estate.
A judgment can be against either the person or their property. A personal judgment is against the individual's assets or income, while a lien on property is against the person's property.
A judgment is against specific things.
Only if the judgment is overturned in a re-trial or new trial.
Liens are only used against real property. It might be possible to levy the person's bank account. MSJ are issued by judges and are often easily overturned.
