Mistakes to Avoid
In Florida, for a judgment to becomes a lien on real property, a certified copy of it must be recorded in the official records of that county, Florida Statutes also requires that the address of the person who has a lien (i.e. the plaintiff) be contained in the judgment or an affidavit simultaneously recorded with the judgment; failure to do so could invalidate your lien rights.
Additionally, the statute requires the filing of a judgment lien certificate with the Florida Secretary of State to acquire a lien on a judgment debtor's interest in all personal property.
