Understanding Judgment Liens in Minnesota
In Minnesota, a civil judgment that is docketed becomes a lien against “non-exempt” real estate owned by the debtor in that county. Foreclosing a judgment lien can be an excellent way to collect a large judgment. However, judgment liens don’t apply to all real estate and can be tricky to foreclose. The bottom line: the better you understand judgment liens, the better chance you have of protecting your interests in the judgment or your land.
