When a court files a judgment order in the county prothonotary office, a lien is placed on your real property in the county. A creditor can even then transfer that judgment to other counties where you own any additional real estate. These liens become ‘secured’ by the real estate and may end up otherwise unaffected by bankruptcy. However, if you have limited equity in the real estate (less than the exemptions you are allowed under applicable bankruptcy law) your attorney may be able to petition the court to have some, if not all, of the judicial liens canceled, making that debt unsecured, just like your credit cards and medical bills, and subject to discharge.
