Probably a contractors lien. The judgment would have been "He didnt pay me, I hold a lien." "Ok, pound."
Some jurisdictions are placing liens now for unpaid tickets on out of state victims, I mean offenders. Not sure why that would show up as a judgment though.
There is also a chance either the title co. or contractor has or had the wrong address. Ie., there isnt a lien on your property, they searched for the wrong property, or the lien was placed on the wrong property. Its also possible that the last title search was faulty and there was a lien when you purchased it.
Fun fun fun. Better you than me. Sorry.
The one line you wrote is a scary line "The lien may have been placed on the wrong property" -That would be a bad one, and hard to clear up (I would think). I'm no real estate expert though, but that seems like it'll be a bad one, almost like proving a negitive. That's what your title insurance is for I believe. I hope a lawyer won't be needed.
