Can I put a lien on the home if the daughter of my friend who owed me money won’t pay me?

No. The only one who can place liens on property absent judgments are property owner's associations, tax liens or mechanics/material men. If someone owes you money, your remedy is to sue the person and recover a money judgment. The judgment will automatically become a lien on any real property once its entered. However, you state that the friend is the one who owed you the money. In that case, your remedy is to file a claim against the estate of your friend. If the claim is denied then you have 3 months to sue the estate. The friend's daughter does not have to pay you unless you do this properly. If no estate was probated, then you need to seek out a probate lawyer. Anyone can apply for probate of an estate. If you want your claim paid then you can be an administrator of the estate.
