The creditor must be paid at the time of the closing. Therefore, when you take title, the property will no longer be subject to the lien. Clearing liens is the responsibility of the closing attorney. It is the reason a prudent attorney (and a prudent buyer) makes certain a comprehensive title examination is performed prior to the closing.

What is judgment debt on property?
If someone has taken you to court and won a money judement in their favor the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against your real property. You cannot sell or refinance your property until the lien is paid. The lien affects any property you may own. If you have no real property the sheriff can sieze any personal property you own in order to satisfy the lien.
Can you sell off acreage if it is on a lien I own 40 acres the house is on 20 acres and the other 20 acres is plotted ready to sell can I sell off the 20 acres?
The property is subject to a lien. The question isn't whether you can sell it. The problem is that the buyer won't buy the property as long as there's a lien on it. Your attorney will need to negotiate a partial release or a full release with the lienholder if you will pay off the lien, or half of the lien, out of the proceeds from the sale of the 20 acres. If you don't pay the lien in full and the lienholder agrees to a partial payment then the lien will still be an encumbrance on your remaining property.
Can you go around a lien on your property?
No. The purpose of a lien is to notify the world that you own someone money. When recorded against your real property it serves notice to a potential buyer or lender that the property is already encumbered. You cannot sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid. You need to go around and pay it off.

What is the cost of placing a lien on property willed to you if trying to own it and can you go to the courthouse and place a personal lien on the property that is yours according to a will?
Not sure why you want to put a lien on the property. If you have been left the property, you shouldgo and get the deed. In order for the individual to leave you the property, they had to be named in the deed. In order for anyone to sell it after their death, they are going to have to get the probate court's permission. And the only person they will allow to sell it is the executor or the person it was left to. I would consult an attorney for the jurisdiction where the property is.
