Question on lien, change of title & recourse

Arcinio Arauz

For the sake of asking this question I ask by scenario....

 What if a property was gifted to me via quit claim. After looking into the title records I find "an order of the court" by which a creditor lien was attached to the said property. From what I understand whenever a change of ownership takes place, the county may send a notification to that lien holder indicating new owner.

Can that lien holder that attached the lien through the courts come and try to collect from me personally? I understand that the lien will no doubt come to surface when an common  sale takes place. In this case, I plan to keep the property but I question what the original lien holder can do to me. Is there any recourse? Can the creditor request some investigation?

Thanks for your help
