Most judgments (the court order saying what youre owed) expire in 10 years. This means you cant collect on it after 10 years. To avoid this, you can ask the court to renew it. A renewal lasts 10 years.
Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date.
Take the Abstract of Judgment and a copy to the county recorders office in the county where you think the debtor owns real estate. There is a recording fee. The recorder will keep the original Abstract and give you the recording information on the copy. They will send you back the original after the recording is done.
The side thats owed the money (the judgment creditor) has 10 years to collect, or enforce, a judgment. To extend how long they have to enforce a judgment, a judgment creditor can apply to have the judgment renewed.
