Help With a Lien, Please

[saydee]

Ok, here's my question. I lived with my boyfriend in California for 11 years, we had a child together and we used both his and my credit income to buy a house together. After a year of making payments on the house, he re-financed and I let him take my name off the house. (VERY stupid of me!) In January, we broke up and he kicked my son and I out of the house. He did, however, promise to give me $50,000. when he sells the house, and he is willing to sign a document that states that. So my question is what legal form or document should I have him sign, or how should I word a statement for him to sign that I can then take to court and place a lien against the house? Obviously, I don't trust his "promise", so being able to put a lien on the house is very important to me. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You need to get him to sign a deed of trust (mortgage).

See a real estate attorney for details.
