I "sold" an auto shop that my deceased husband left to me. The buyer and I signed and dated a contract of intent to buy and sell in March. 7/14/00 he informed me that he was not buying the shop, that the person he had working in there was not working well, his backers fell through and now he wants to sell. The problem is he put money into the shop and is now 90 days default on payments to me. He is refinancing his home and I heard that once that is done he plans to file BK. That may mean I will never be paid. Someone suggested that I place a lien against his home after the refi. I will know when the refi happens because I know the person who is handling that for him. Will a lien protect my interests? How do I go about filing the lien. This is very important to me as the sale of the shop was for my two son's college. Please respond ASAP.
