960.294 Effect of civil restitution liens.
(1) PROPERTY SUBJECT TO CIVIL RESTITUTION LIEN.The civil restitution lien is a lien upon any real or personal property of the convicted offender. If the full amount of the civil restitution lien is not satisfied from the real or personal property owned at the time of conviction, the civil restitution lien also is a lien upon any real or personal property which the convicted offender comes to possess subsequent to conviction, until the full amount of the lien is satisfied.

The provisions of chapter 726 apply to the transfer of the convicted offender’s assets to a third party and all other judgment enforcement remedies that are available by law.

(5) RATE OF INTEREST.A civil restitution lien under this section bears the rate of interest set forth in s. 55.03, from the date of its entry.
