ANNOTATION
A judgment lien which attaches to specific property of a party during his lifetime is not dissolved by his death, but survives and is enforceable against the real estate of the decedent, and such lien may be enforced by the lienholder without filing a claim against the estate and independently of the estate proceeding. Willis v. Neilson, 32 Colo. App. 129, 507 P.2d 1106 (1973).
