No. A lien doesn't give you ownership. First, you must sue in court and win to obtain a judgment lien. A homeowner cannot sell or mortgage their property until a judgment lien is paid.

You may be able to foreclose on the judgment lien in your state. If the lien isn't paid you can consult with an attorney in your state regarding how to foreclose on a judgment lien. Legal costs may be expensive.

Is it legal to form a tenancy by entirety to avoid a lien being placed on your property in Missouri?

This can be a complicated situation and a change in ownership of property or tenancy can be undone by a court if it was done to avoid a known creditor.A Tenancy by the Entirety (TBE) is a form of property ownership in Missouri and some other states reserved for married couples. Property owned as tenants by the entirety belongs to the marriage, which means that both spouses own the property as one person, and thus, both of them own 100% interest in the property. A creditors lien against one of the spouses cannot force the sale of the real estate. However, a lien against both is effective and that creditor can force the sale to satisfy the lien.If you do not hold your real estate as TBE and you have notice of a lien, then you convert the tenancy to a TBE, the lien will likely take priority. Real property owned by married couples should be held as TBE where that exemption is available in order to protect the property from creditors of one spouse.

What if your mother quit claimed your home back to you recently and you have a fed IRS lien against you can the IRS seize this property you live in Arkansas?

An IRS Lien attaches to all property that you own, and it also attaches to "after-acquired" property (property that you acquired after the filing of the lien).Even though the house was quit-claimed to you after the filing of the lien, the lien has now properly attached to it. This means that the IRS could, technically, seize the home. It should be noted that if this house is your primary residence, the IRS cannot seize a primary residence without the order of the courts (which almost never happens).If you are in contact with the IRS and make a plan for resolution of the debt, the IRS will generally not seize property. The only time that IRS seizes real estate these days is in cases of blatant evasion or fraud. Your best course is to get in contact with them and work with them to take care of the taxes.
