If you transferred title to an irrevocable trust six years ago, your personal creditors cannot attach a lien to your trust property.

If there are any mortgages, the liens attach to the property itself, and not against the debtor. Likewise any other liens that existed prior to transfer of property to the trust.  Any judgments or liens entered against you could not be levied upon the house, but only potentially upon your beneficiary interest in the trust.
