How do you know when a seizure can be fatal?

Is your home subject to seizure from a court judgment?

It can be, but it's a process. After a court awarded judgment of money, there is an appeals process that can modify or overturn the amount of that award.

Then, assuming that the award still stands in some form, the person may not pay it. If so, there is more court needed. After a point, it would be possible to put a lien on the person's house, though there are some cases in some states where the primary residence cannot be attached, especially if other innocent adults live there, or children.

Assuming a lien can and is in place, then there would have to be a forced sale, which would mean more court.

(At this point, as any honest attorney would tell you, the legal fees to do all this might well exceed the value of the amount derived from the sale of the house.)

Mastoiditis can cause an infection in the brain, but nowadays it is a condition that is well controlled and easy to cure, so it rarely causes any major problems.
