When you record a judgment from the probate court does it automatically put a lien on the defendant's house?
The laws vary in different states. Generally, if a lien arises as a result of the judgment the lien is effective as soon as the judgment is recorded in the land records. In some states such as Massachusetts, a lien can arise from a probate and family court judgment without its being recorded in the land records. In Massachusetts, title examiners must check the probate and family court records as part of the title examination to determine if any such liens exist.

You wrecked your boyfriend's car and it is in his sister's name Can she sue you if you have no job to pay her?
Yes she can sue you. However, getting a judgment against someone and COLLECTING on the judgment are two different worlds. If you have no job and no assets it is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock - It's not there. Even if you are sued, then you still have the right to a trial, and may have a legitimate defense. if you lose, the judgment will stay on your record (possibly even your credit record) for many years as an unpaid judgment. In a situation like this the plaintiff (your boyfriend's sister) would probably list both you and her brother as co-defendants in the action. If the verdict is in favor of the plaintiff, the judgment would most likely be split between your and you boyfriend equally.
