Generally property owned by a married couple is held as Tenancy By The Entirety and if only one spouse is the judgment debtor said property cannot be attached by the judgment holder. Please be aware that the exact wording on a deed to real property is very important. In some cases state default laws will apply if the wording is challenged. The best option is for the concerned parties to have the property title examined by a qualified real estate/titling company or attorney.
