Escrow & Title
In Georgia, a 'special lien' (specific lien) differs from a 'general lien' in that:
AA. A special lien affects all of the debtor's property; a general lien affects only one property
BB. A special lien attaches only to the specific property related to the debt; a general lien attaches to all of the debtor's property✓ Correct
CC. Special liens are only created by statute
DD. General liens have higher priority than special liens
Explanation
A special (specific) lien attaches only to the particular property related to the debt (e.g., property tax lien on the taxed property, mechanics lien on the improved property). A general lien attaches to all of the debtor's property (e.g., judgment lien).
