Liens from a Family MemberIt all depends on what state you live in, so check your local laws. However it is possible for a family member to put a lien against your property if you owe them any outstanding debt that can be verified in court.

For example, say you owe your mom $10k for a loan she gave you two years ago. If she has anything in writing stipulating you are in acknowldegement that you owe this debt, and you don't pay it she can take you to court and if she wins a judgment she can then put a writ out for payment, just like when the court garnishes wages. (Try to solve all your issues outside of court, it can save a lot of money and a lot of headaches.)

As a general rule, unless you signed a note giving them the right, they have no grounds to put a lien on anything you own. Whether they are family has no bearing on this issue. Also, each state in the USA has different lien laws, so it would be best to consult someone local to find if there are overriding circumstances in your case. For instance, if you sign a contract for construction work in the state of New York, a company can put a lien on your house (or whatever building is bearing the work) even if it is not specifically noted in the contract. From another point of view: if "a family member" lent you money without an IOU or chattel or some other document, they would have to first pursue a legal judgment against you before being able to place a lien against the vehicle in question. IE take you to small claims court and the judge finds in their favor. Also note their are two types of leins that can be placed against a motor vehicle a Mechanics Lein(When you have work performed on your car) and a Promissory Lein(when you take a loan against your vehicle and the lendor is holding an intrest in the assest.)

If you owe her money, sure she can. But first, she must sue you in court and get a judgment lien against you. That lien can be recorded in the land records and you can't sell or mortgage your property until that lien, and the interest, is paid off.

No. As long as the will was properly drafted according to state laws the disinherited person has no recourse. They can have the will reviewed by an independent, private attorney to make certain it is valid.
