Attachment Lien

An attachment lien is a legal claim placed on a person's property or assets to secure a potential judgment in a lawsuit. If someone is suing you and believes they may win, they can ask the court to attach a lien on your property, which prevents you from selling or transferring it until the lawsuit is resolved. This lien serves as a safeguard for the creditor, ensuring that if they win the case, they can collect the owed money from the property. It essentially ensures that the assets are preserved during the legal process.
