A petition with exemptions that were applicable to the defendant should have been presented to the court. All states have a set of exemptions that protect specific property from creditor attachment. W/O knowing the state of residency I cannot give a more specific answer. Sorry!

A judgment in most cases (except for small claims) can be executed as a lien against real property.
