Explanation
When a court enters a money judgment in Idaho and the judgment creditor records an abstract of judgment or the judgment itself in the county recorder's office, it becomes a lien on all of the judgment debtor's real property in that county. Judgment liens affect marketability of title and must be satisfied or released before or at closing.
