SACKETT, Judge
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I concur in part and dissent in part. Charles received ownership of the property in 1977, prior to the judgment liens having been filed in Iowa County. Title to the property never went back to Harlan. The 1985 agreement affirmed ownership of the property in Charles and then provided certain amounts should be paid to Harlan when the property was sold. This agreement never vested title to any real estate in Harlan, so he had no interest to which a judgment lien would attach under Iowa Code section 624.23(1).
Harlan’s interest was personal property. Therefore, there was no attachment of lien under section 624.23(1). Therefore, I would agree with Charles the $10,000 Charles owed him is not subject to claims of judgment creditors.
I would concur with the majority in all other respects.
