While many states impose statutes of limitation (SOLs) on judgement liens, judgement liens can often be renewed multiple times. In CA the basic lien term is 10 years but in California's judgement lien statute, judgement liens are indefinitely renewable every 10 years after their initial creation. In Nevada the lien will remain attached to the debtor's property (even if the property changes hands) for six years. I am not aware if or how liens may be renewed in Nevada but it is likely that they can.
