The CLERK'S OFFICE routinely handles the process of recording the judgment.</span></div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On occasion, the Clerk's office might overlook a judgment. If you don't double check and figure out that the judgment didn't get recorded, then the real property that is ordinarily liened can be sold without a satisfaction of the judgment. That doesn't happen that often.</span></div>
<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So, in order for the lien to be satisfied and removed, YOU must file a satisfaction of judgment with the court.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The CLERK'S OFFICE will then record it, or its a matter of public record, not sure which one.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">That's how title companies know if a judgment is or is not still outstanding. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Andrekita Silva </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Law Office of F.
