My husband has some ownership of his dad's house in Texas. His brother has a judgement against him and now the creditor has threatened to place a judgement lien on my husband's house. Is this legal?
If the brother alsio has "some ownership of his dad's house in Texas," the judgment lien will attach to that. Having two (or more) people own property exposes it to the debts of each. The extent of the exposure is determined by how they own the property.
