Property Ownership

In Minnesota, which of the following is an example of a general lien (affecting all of a person's property)?

AA mortgage on a specific property
BA court judgment lien that attaches to all real property in the county owned by the debtor✓ Correct
CA mechanic's lien for work done on a specific property
DA tax lien for unpaid property taxes on a specific parcel

Explanation

A general lien (like a court judgment lien) attaches to all real property owned by the debtor in the county (and other counties where docketed), rather than a specific property. A specific lien (mortgage, mechanic's lien, property tax lien) attaches only to a specific parcel. Understanding lien types is important for title clearance in Minnesota transactions.
