Placing Lien - How to?

[Mark Gingrass]

A co-worker of mine has inherited a house along with 2 other people.
He has been doing some work on the house for the past few months to get it up to standards.

He thought that during probate he would get his money back. He thought that they would split the money and give him more sinse he put more into it than the other two.
Now his lawyer is telling him that it won't work that way and he would have to place a Lien on the house.

What do you reccomend him to do? How would he put a lien on the house.

Thanks for any advice.
