Property lien

Obtain a Writ of Execution from the court clerk and RECORD it in the registry of deeds for the county where the debtor owns real estate (14 M.R.S. 4651-A). Recording creates an execution lien on that real estate. (Maine does NOT create an automatic real-estate lien from the judgment alone — the writ must be recorded.)
