5 Keys Summary
nnnn• The item that would not be classified as a specific lien is a Judgment.
nnnn• A specific lien attaches only to a particular designated property, such as a mortgage, trust deed, property tax lien, mechanic’s lien, or attachment lien.
nnnn• A Judgment lien is established upon recording an abstract of judgment and is classified as an involuntary and general lien.
nnnn• A general lien is a broader claim that can affect all properties (real and personal) owned by the debtor within the county where it is recorded, or nationwide for federal tax liens.
nnnn• Both an Attachment and a Mechanic’s Lien are examples of involuntary specific liens because they are placed on one particular piece of property.
