You will have to check the deed to the property. If they are listed as Joint Owners with Right of Survivorship, no, your wife now owns the property. If they are listed as Tenants in Common, yes. That means that each of them owned half the house. They certainly can put a lien on it. Consult an attorney in your area for specifics.
