My husband's ex wife (divorced in 2008) called him and told him that someone that tried to sue her (she misappropriated estate funds, she was the trustee, the rest of the family sued her and won, she filed bankruptcy so she wouldn't have to pay) had put a lien on his house. The house is in his name only. I called the probate judge's office and they have no record of a lien. Can they do this? Does he have to be notified? What can he do?

Welcome slkirkpatrick,

If the house is in your husband's name, then his ex-wife's creditors cannot place a lien on his property. Moreover, when the ex-wife had filed bankruptcy, she got all her debts discharged. Thus, the creditors won't be able to file a lien against the discharged debts.

No.
