The lien goes on the property, not the estate. But the estate must resolve the lien when disposing of the property.
A real estate vendor's lien in the state of Texas is a type of lien put on a building project. If the contractor doing the work on a person's home defaults to his/her creditors, a lien can be put on projects that he has already completed or projects that are still in process. This means that the owner of the property where the project was done, has to pay the lien before they can sell the property. Then, the property owner has to sue to get the contractor to pay them back.
Work may continue with no interference. However, you will be unable to sell the home without that lien being paid in full.
Yes! If you contracted to have work done on your house/home, and it was completed to your satisfaction, then the roofer can attach what is called a mechanic's lien to your house. I believe that you had to have had a period of time to pay. If you did not pay as promised for the work done, the the roofer does not have to serve notice. You are deemed to have known this to be an action that the roofer could take when you eneterd into the contractual agreement to have your roof done. Ignorance of the law is not deemed an appropriate defence of the same.
You can work with your attorney to refile the lien before it expires. Every state law is different in this regard.
A lien is not designed to help a homeowner. It is a contractors way of laying claim to some of the value in your home so that you can not sell it or refinance with out paying off the lien. In addition to the original dept you will be required to pay a lien filing fee (about $100) to clear this.
Yes. The lien would be based on the legal theories of quantum meruit and unjust enrichment. To avoid any costly mistakes in the complicated construction lien process, I suggest you retain a qualified construction law attorney.
Yes, you may have a lien against the house where you agreed to do work, did work or delivered materials , notified the other party that you had completed your part, and were not paid for it, regardless of whose house it is. In most places it's called a "mechanic's lien" or "construction lien", and can be easily recorded through the locally specified bureau, but must usually be done ("perfected") within a limited time after being denied payment. Each state law has its own variations of forms, limits, and so forth. You then sue to collect on the lien within a prescribed period.

Your first step should be to contact an attorney. Beware of self-help lien forms that are on the market. These will work fine if you are experienced in your state's real estate laws. If you are not experienced, even a small mistake can be grounds for voiding the lien and an award of attorney's fees in favor of the person who owes you money.
I assume you mean a lien on a home. If you own a home and you owe money, they have the ability to go to court, get a judgment and then place a lien on your home. If the home was used as collateral (for example your mortgage payment or home loan) then they would not need to get a judgment. It will not affect the homeowner until such time as they go to sell, in which case the money for the lien would come out of your proceeds before your receive them, or if you went to get a loan, they would want all leins satisfied out of the loan money and would do so before your received the remainder of the loan. The only kind of lien that can force sale is a defaulted mortgage (forclosure) or a tax lien.
Best practices dictate that you work with you association-savvy attorney, who can review your governing documents and employ the guidelines there to verify that the board has completed all the necessary steps that must occur before filing a lien.
