can they lein my half of house

[maggies11]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I have an old debt from 10 years ago, that has been sold to a third party.
If I own half a house can they put a lien on the property?

On the deed is my name and my boyfriends name.

If they go to court and get a judgement they can indeed try to attach property that is even only owned by you in part.

I can't say whether it can happen in your specific case since you provided no details, but generally speaking it is possible to put a lien on just one co-owner's interest in a piece of property.

Yes I can. If you feed this OP misinformation about the law, as you so often do to those with legal questions, then I'll share it too.

Before anyone can answer your question, we must know EXACTLY how you hold this house.
