5 Keys Summary

• The item that would not be classified as a specific lien is a Judgment.

• A specific lien attaches only to a particular designated property, such as a mortgage, trust deed, property tax lien, mechanic’s lien, or attachment lien.

• A Judgment lien is established upon recording an abstract of judgment and is classified as an involuntary and general lien.

• A general lien is a broader claim that can affect all properties (real and personal) owned by the debtor within the county where it is recorded, or nationwide for federal tax liens.

• Both an Attachment and a Mechanic’s Lien are examples of involuntary specific liens because they are placed on one particular piece of property.
