More details to this question:
Wife is NJ resident and has judgement against her. She and husband owns condo in Florida which husband spends 75% of his time. Wife spends 50/50 of time between house in NJ and the condo. The judgement is from NJ court. I understand Florida real estate if protected against judgement other than mortgage lien. Would the judgement have to be paid at later date if husband died and wife sole survivor owner of condo

You are simply asking too many speculative questions that can't possibly be answeredin a useful fashion without lots of details. Bottom line is you have a whole line of issues to address in regard to attempting to collect that judgment. Bottom line is noone is required to line up and pay your judgment just because you have one. YOU will have to bear the expense and effort of enforcing it in a proper and timely fashion. So if they decide to convey the property to a trust or reverse mortage it and suck out all the equity, or just sell it, you are likely still left just holding a piece of paper as a glorified IOU.
