Cecelia M. Lewis and Randall Lewis, a Married Couple, Plaintiffs/appellants v. Ray C. Debord and Anne Nelson-Debord…

Summary

The court held that recording a certified judgment without the required information statement creates a valid judgment lien, although the lien lacks priority against competing creditors until the statement is filed. The information statement requirement does not displace the rule that a subsequent purchaser with actual or constructive notice takes subject to the lien. The court vacated the court of appeals' opinion, reversed summary judgment for the purchasers, and remanded for further proceedings.
