Can your father file a lien against your personal property if the only proof he has of a loan are Western Union wire transfers?

=== Answer ==

In order for a lien to be put against your personal property he must first take legal action. Although the Western Union is good in tracking funds given to you, he must still prove that you had an agreement to pay the money back, otherwise it can be constituted as a gift, and gifts do not need to be repaid. Good luck and consult an attorney.

Liens can only be placed against real property such as a house or a vehicle not personal property (furnishings, jewelry, etc.).

If the lender wins a lawsuit judgment against the borrower the judgment can be used as a wage garnishment or bank account levy or seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the borrower or a lien against real property.

Wire transfers alone would not be sufficient evidence to substantiate a loan. If however, there were witnesses to the agreement of the lending of monies they would be taken into consideration by the court.

THE ACTUAL LAW IS THERE IS PARENTAL IMMUNITY AND NEITHER CAN BRING FORTH A LAWSUIT WITHOUT SUBMITTING PROOF OF A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT.
