Typically, a beneficiary of a trust cannot be personally liable for the debts or judgments against the trust. However, if the beneficiary has received assets from the trust, those assets could be subject to creditor claims. It is important to consult with legal counsel to understand specific circumstances and protections.

How do you get an outstanding judgment placed on someone's credit report?

Placing JudgmentsFirst you need to win the judgment in court proceedings. Then with that paperwork, you can contact the credit reporting agency. With that judgment, you can also do a search of the person's assets (through the internet) and put a lien on the assets.Individuals do not report judgment awards to credit reporting bureaus that is done by independent agencies contracted by the credit bureaus.A judgment cannot be used to access a person's financial and personal information, that is done via discovery documents issued before the judgment is entered against the debtor/defendant.


How do you get a judgment put on someone's credit report?

Individuals cannot "put" something on someone else's credit report. Judgments are part of the public record, and as such, are the subject of routine searches by individuals who re-sell this type of information to Credit Reporting Agencies. So, if you were the prevailing party in a judgment, you can be relatively certain the judgment will find it's way onto the defendants credit. In most states, a judgment must be recorded twice to ensure that it attachs to any real property owned by the defendant.


What if you took a contractor to court to pay your attorney fees to get an illegal lien off your house and he has not paid so how do you put a lien on him?

I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."


If you are a beneficiary to a deceased parents estate and your sister is executor is there a way she can keep your portion from you?

If you have a judgment and after 7 years it's off your credit does that mean that the creditor can't put a lien on any of your property?

I don't know if the laws are the same everywhere, but we had to get a judgment against someone and had a lien placed on his house. We were told that if we went back to court before the 7 years were up we could get another judgment against him and keep the lien in place. He's had a lien on his home for over 10 years now -- and until he pays his debt or the law changes we'll keep going back to court. Of course, he owes us a LOT of money. A judgment has to be renewed by the plaintiff at set intervals, determined by law. You can find the SOL relative to judgments for your state, and if the statute has expired, contact the court to see if the judgment has been renewed by the plaintiff. If not, they can't collect.

What happens if you find additional insurance policies where beneficary listed is absolutely excluded in trust?

In order to find a trust with life insurance proceeds the trust must be named as the beneficiary of the insurance policy. Then the trust documents specify what the funds are used for that are in the trust. If there are other life insurance policies that are still active and have other individuals named as the beneficiaries then the money from those policies cannot be placed into the trust and will be paid directly to the current beneficiary listed with the insurance company. The trust will have no claim whatsoever on these policies. It could be that these policies had their beneficiary changed when the trust was set up and the trust is the current beneficiary of them as well and he just didn't put the change form in the policy. Whatever is on record with the insurance company will be the person that the benefits are paid to no matter what.

If you had a judgment against you and you put it on your Chapter 7 can they keep a judgment on your credit after you are discharged from your Ch 7?

Yes. If the judgment resulted in a lien against property. Even though the judgment will be discharged in the BK. The lien will remain on the property and the item will remain on the CR. Due to the negative effect of a BK, the additional notice of a judgment, is rather insignificant.
