Property lien
A judgment is NOT automatically a lien on real estate. The creditor obtains a certificate of judgment from the clerk of the court that rendered the judgment and files it with the clerk of the court of common pleas in any county where the debtor owns or may own real property (R.C. 2329.02). The lien attaches from the date of filing.
