Answered by attorney John M Abramson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Abramson & Magidson, P.A.
A joint tenant's interest is subject to levy and execution. See McDowell v. Trailer Ranch, Inc., 421 So. 2d 751 (Fla. 4th D.C.A. 1982). Therefore, as a general rule where a certified copy of a judgment has been recorded against a joint tenant with right of survivorship, such judgment lien must be released or shown as an exception to coverage. One exception to the general rule exists. Since the interest of a joint tenant terminates upon his death, a lien on his interest is a lien on a defeasible interest. The lien terminates when, by reason of death, his interest in the tenancy terminates. See D.A.D., Inc. v. Moring, 218 So. 2d 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 1964). Therefore, where the joint tenant against whom a judgment lien exists dies and the property vests in the survivor, the judgment lien against the deceased tenant may be disregarded.
