It depends on the property that was owned. If you owned a car, and fail to have it taken out of your name, someone has an accident then it is possible that a judgment be placed against you.
If it is a home, and something breaks, such as Plumbing goes bad. If you have no knowledge of issues with the plumbing then you have no worries. However, if you knew there were issues, you may be held liable.

If you file chapter 7 bankruptcy and are discharged can a creditor later put a judgment against you for a mortgage on property you surrendered to them when you filed the bankruptcy?
No. The creditor can foreclose on the property (and virtually always do) since that is the way they get your name off of the deed and someone else's name on it. And, during this foreclosure, they will list you as a defendant since you are the property owner until the sheriff sale takes place. But, when the judgment is rendered in the foreclosure, it should be an "in rem" judgment, which means against the property only, and not an "in personam" judgment, which means against you personally. If they do get an in personam judgment against you, it is usually a good idea to notify the court and let them know about the bankruptcy so they remove the in personam judgment.

Exactly what types of professional persons are allowed to place liens on property in Florida?
Any person who is owed a valid debt by a property owner can file suit and if awarded a judgment can enforce that judgment as a lien against real property owned by the debtor. If the debt owed qualifies under the laws relating to Mechanic's Liens, then the person or business that is owed the monies does not need to follow due process through the court but can file such a lien with the county recorder's office in the county where the encumbered property is located. However, as a general rule, Florida has unlimited homestead exemption, which does not negate the rights of a creditor to place a lien against the property but it does prevent the forced sale of said property in order for the judgment holder to collect the debt.

If past the deadline to file a mechanic's lien is there another way to place a lien on real property if the owner owes me money for investing and working on their property?
A mechanic's lien serves to hold your place in line on the record title as a creditor WHILE YOU FILE a civil action against the person who owes you money. A mechanic's lien expires after a short period, usually 90 days. You are expected to obtain a court judgment and record a judgment lien against the property within the 90 day period. If you don't the mechanic's lien simply expires and you lose your place in line as a creditor. If you have a contract for services that has been breached you can still file a civil claim. If you are successful the court will issue a judgment in your favor and that judgment lien will be recorded in the land records and a copy will be served on the property owner by the sheriff. During the time you are waiting for your day in court other liens may be recorded that will take priority over yours.
