Best Answer

The debtor would need to pay the debt owed or make a settlement or payment with the creditor who is threatening or has initiated a lawsuit, Judgments cannot be "avoided" when they are in connection with a valid debt.

Can a judge order the new owner of a dead mans former home to sell the home to pay a debt?

If the deceased had unsatisfied debts or judgments against them - AND - liens had been properly filed against him and his assets, then the heir (or new purchaser) took possession of the property 'SUBJECT TO' the existing encumbrance (i.e.: liens). The deceased's estate is responsible for paying the liens and if one of the assets of the estate was the residence, then the home CAN be sold to satisfy the pre-existing outstanding debt.
