Basically anything that one ownes can be liened, but for the most part only vehicles and homes get liened but I have seen liens put on personal property. Then when someone goes to sell whatever property is liened the lien holder has to be paid what they are owed first then the owner of the property gets whatever is left. As to putting a lien on something the way you go about it depends upon what you are trying to lien and why you are trying to lien it. For example if you did work at someones home and they didn't pay you then you can go to your county clerks office with the proper forms filled out and they will help you the rest of the way. Now if someone owes you money for something you paid for but didn't get then that is a little trickier and you might just want to take them to small claims court or if you are trying to lien a vehicle then that is done threw your department of motor vehicles. Hope this helped.

Liens can also arise from a judgment in some states. Say that you have a debt that you fail to pay and they take you to court, well when the judgment is entered a lien is attached. Depends on what state you are in but this is a possibility.
