Debts of a deceased person are addressed during probate procedure. All lenders are required to file a claim against the estate through the state's probate court. All US states have laws of succession (the manner in which an estate is distributed) with the surviving spouse and minor children being the first to be provided for.
If the judgment is against the deceased spouse only and the married couple were not residents of a community property state the surviving spouse is not legally responsible for the judgment debt and it can be voided by the probate court or the surviving spouse. In some cases, no legal action is needed, the judgment becomes null and void upon the death of the debtor.

The husband and wife are seen as one person in the eyes of the court. If the husband incurs a debt, the wife shares it. They should not be able to take your home, unless that was the collateral for whatever the case was about.
No
No, if you hit the lotto you should be able to pay the judgment in full, I hope? LOL
yes, all you can do is get a judgment against them should you prevail, you may never see a penny, but the judgment will damage their credit and reputation
If your ex husband as filed an annulment of judgement, you should get a lawyer. Study the paperwork that was filed so you are not blind sided by the annulment of judgement when you go before a judge.
No. You should have gotten notice of the judgment made against you before the freeze.
If the judgment was not perfected as a lien against the property (which is almost impossible in Florida), the property is not encumbered and the title should be clear, thereby not causing a problem with the sale. The judgment holder will probably be able to execute the judgment as a bank account levy and/or seize funds garnered from the sale of the homestead.
Short answer, a valid judgment can be executed against the debtor's non exempt property at any time. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property is more likely to be implemented as a forced sale of the property in question. And a judgment accrues interest until it is paid or satisfied with the judgment creditor.
The local register of deeds should have an index of liens, foreclosures and other judgments against properties recorded there (for the municipality or county).
You should visit the court that issued the judgment lien and ask about obtaining a court order against the creditor for refusing to release the lien. You should take proof that you paid the lien with you as evidence.You should visit the court that issued the judgment lien and ask about obtaining a court order against the creditor for refusing to release the lien.
