Technically speaking, no. However, if you want to be sure you've done it right and in such a way that it will actually stand up in court if challenged, having a lawyer is probably a good idea.

∙ 12y agoThe only type of lien that can be placed upon real property without the necessity of a judgment order is known as a Mechanic's Lien.
Such a lien is used when work (building, repairs, etc.) has been contracted for and done on a private residence and/or business. For example, a roofing company replaces a roof and the owner of the property fails to pay the amount owed. The roofing company/person can after attempting to collect the debt in the regular manner, file a lien against the non compliant customer/debtor with the clerk of the court in the county where the property is located.
States enact their own statutes concerning such issues, so it is advisable that the parties considering such action consult with an attorney or legal advisor before taking action. The documents needed and general information can be obtained from the office of the clerk of the civil court.

What does is mean to have a lien on ones property and tenets?
A lien is a security interest in the property. A lien might arise from a loan. If you buy a car with the bank's money the bank will put a lien on the car. If you don't pay the bank back, it can foreclose on its lien and take the car from you. If you have a roofer add a new roof to your house, and you don't pay him, the laws allow the roofer to put a lien on your house. The roofer now has a stake in the house. If you don't pay off the lien your house can be forcibly put up for sale in order to satisfy the lien. I believe "property and tenets" translates into modern speak as "property and belongings".
