Yes, in most cases a lien can be placed against real property belonging to the debtor. If the person is married and it is not a joint debt the property would be exempt from any attempt at forced sale. The N.C. homestead exemption is $10,000.

If you have been sued for nonpayment of a credit card but everything is in your husband's name except your bank account can a judgment be placed against you and can they freeze your bank account?

If the debt is valid and proper legal procedures according to state laws is followed a judgment will be granted if the plaintiff wins the lawsuit (they will). Whether the joint bank account can be levied or other property attached by a lien or even a forced sale, depends on state laws and how the property is titled. For example, if you live in a TBE state, a judgment cannot be levied against a joint marital account, although the creditor might still try. If you reside in a community property state most debts are considered joint and both spouses are responsible, regardless of who is the account holder.


In Missouri is the surviving spouse liable for credit card debt?

The estate is responsible for any outstanding credit card bills. But the assumption is that the wife inherits the husband's assets. One way or another, the spouse ends up paying the debt. The spouse has some right in all real property owned by the husband. If the assets are not enough to cover the debt, the real property may have a lien placed against it to cover those debts.
