Only if you want clear title to the property. If you fail to clear the lien, the property can be sold from under you.

When you inherited the property, you inherited the debt.

The most they could do is put the judgment on your credit rating, put a lien on your property and perhaps have some of your nonexempt property taken and sold to pay toward the judgment.

A judgment for the most part, is a monetary award. It can be collected in various ways, garnishment of wages and/or bank accounts, is an example. It can, however take the form of a lien.

A property that is titled Tenancy by the Entirety cannot be sold or have a lien enforced against it, unless there are joint debtors. Both will stay on your CR until they are paid and the SOL expires.

Can a lien be removed by a bankrupsy?
Sure. But if there is a lien against the property, it would be sold to generate the money to pay off the lien, even in bankruptcy. The lien secures or ties the debt to the property. If the amount generated doesn't pay off the debt, that amount becomes an unsecured claim in the bankruptcy and any other asset sold can be used to pay it off. Then if there is nothing else that can be used to pay your debts, and you still owe, the court may reduce or eliminate the rest.

No. Only a court can issue a lien. You would need to sue the car owner in court for a debt and win a judgment.

A judgment lien could also be used to take any other personal property to satisfy the lien and it could be recorded in the land records if the defendant owns real estate. In that case, the property could not be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.
Can the lien holder take a car from a auto repair shop if the bill has not been paid?
