There is a statutory period during which creditors can file claims against an estate that has been admitted to probate. Any entity that provided medical treatment, supplies or services for the decedent may file a claim. Claims that have been properly filed must be paid before any assets can be distributed to the heirs.
A judgment in most cases (except for small claims) can be executed as a lien against real property. It is not "automatic" the judgment creditor must file the judgment as a lien against property solely owned by the debtor or if the portion that is owned by the debtor when the property is jointly held. Judgment creditor liens cannot be placed against marital property held as Tenancy By The Entirety where only one spouse is the debtor.

Small Claims tribunal
No levy may be placed on a home or even a garnishment made unless the creditor has obtained a judgment on the debt through a court. The judgment automatically becomes a lien of property the debtor owns. The creditor then attempts to levy on the property threatening to sell it to pay the judgment debt. Some states force a judgment creditor to go after personal assets like bank accounts first before going after real estate. In that way although the lien is there, the levy cannot yet be made.
