The creditor (holder of the note) would need to file a lawsuit in the court of jurisdiction where the debtor(borrower) resides. If the creditor prevails in the suit a judgment will be entered against the borrower. The creditor can then execute the judgment in accordance with the laws of the debtor's state.

You need legal advice that is particular to your state.First, there is a statute of limitations in your state that governs how long a promissory note is effective. If the note remains unpaid you can bring the matter to court and obtain a judgment if the terms of the note have been breached. If you obtain a judgment in your favor, you can ask the court for a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against the debtor's real estate. Once the lien has been recorded the property cannot be sold or refinanced until the debt is paid.It would be worthwhile to invest in a hour with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.
