NRS 68.040 Judgment becomes lien when abstract recorded with county
recorder. A judgment rendered in a
justice court creates no lien upon any lands of the defendant, unless an
abstract is recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in
which the lands are situated. When so recorded and from the time of the
recording, the judgment becomes a lien upon all the real property of the
judgment debtor, not exempt from execution, in the county, owned by the
judgment debtor at the time, or which the judgment debtor acquires before the
lien expires. The lien continues for 6 years, unless the judgment is previously
satisfied.
