Have a lien on my assets

I never really understood what the hell these sovcits say because English ain't my native language and I can't understand a word of legalese even in my mother tongue, so I didn't really bother with it's English counterpart. Seeing the French word for "link" being randomly used here tell me that all they're saying is just pure bullshit to sound smart.

Liens are a real thing in U.S. law. I won't get into the details, but basically it means your property can be seized due to your debts.

I thought US laws only used Latin for it's brain shattering legalese terms. I make a fool of myself yet again 🥲

Thanks for the info.

I don't know if that's always true, but this is not an exception to that.

"right to hold property of another until debt is paid," 1530s, from French lien "a band or tie" (12c.), from Latin ligamen "bond," from ligare "to bind, tie" (from PIE root *leig- "to tie, bind"). The word was in Middle English in the literal sense "a bond, fetter," also figuratively, "moral restraint." also from 1530s
