§ 697.390.Interest Subject to Lien Transferred Or Encumbered Without Satisfying Or Extinguishing Lien

Transferring or mortgaging lien-encumbered real property doesn't erase the lien. Section 697.390 confirms the property stays subject to the judgment lien even after such a transfer or encumbrance, so long as the lien hasn't been satisfied or extinguished.

The amount that follows the property depends on which kind of lien is involved. If the lien was created under § 697.310 -- the standard lump-sum lien -- the transferred or encumbered interest remains subject to it in the same amount as if no transfer or encumbrance had occurred. If the lien was created under § 697.320 -- the support or periodic-payment lien -- the transferred or encumbered interest instead remains subject to it in the amount the lien had reached at the time of transfer or encumbrance, plus whatever interest accrues on that amount afterward.
