You need to state your case before a judge and get a judgment in your favor in order to obtain a judgment lien against another party. You have no power to place a lien on anyone's property.
Rent-to-Own is a form of rental agreement which can mature into a purchase agreement. The tenant agrees to rent a property at a rate per month for a specific term. At the end of the term, the tenant will be given the right, but not obligation, to purchase the property at an agreed upon price. The amount of rental paid during the lease term will then be applied toward the purchase price of the property.
There is no 'inheritance' from a joint tenancy. When two people own property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies the survivor automatically owns the property. Think of it this way: When one owner dies their interest in the property disappears leaving the survivor as the sole owner.
A lease to buy agreement, also known as a lease purchase or a rent-to-own, is when a tenant rents a home or an apartment that offers the choice of purchasing the property during a pre-determined time period. During this time period, which is usually around three years, the tenant may choose to purchase the property at the price that is set at the time of leasing. However, during the time that the tenant is only leasing the property, he or she will be required to pay a one time “option fee”, which is 1% to 5% of the price of the property. This option fee will then be deducted from the price of the property if the tenant does decide to purchase. Additionally, the tenant will also be required to pay a monthly rent, along with a rent premium. This rent premium will also be deducted from the price of the home if the tenant decides to purchase the property. Unfortunately, if the tenant does not decide to purchase, he or she will not be refunded the option fee, nor the rent premium. There are a number of benefits to obtaining a lease to buy agreement. One benefit of these agreements is that a tenant may use the leasing period to build his or her credit while deciding to officially purchase the property. That way, if a tenant does decide to purchase the home, he or she will then have the credit needed to obtain a beneficial home loan. Additionally, while the tenant is building their credit, they are also building equity in the home. This places them in a better overall financial standing if and when they decide to purchase the property. Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages to obtaining a lease to buy agreement. The main disadvantage is that neither the option fee, nor the rent premium are refundable if a tenant decides not to purchase the property. These extra fees will then just be lost funds that would have been saved had the tenant entered into a traditional leasing agreement. This is why it is important to consider the pros and cons of obtaining a lease to own agreement before entering into such a lease.

If you purchase this property, you will assume the position of landlord under the existing lease with the tenant. Your rights and responsibilities are determined by the lease and your state's landlord-tenant laws. It is a good idea to talk with a real estate attorney in your area before purchasing this property to ensure that the lease protects your rights and you won't have any surprises after closing (e.g. tenant demands deposit refund, major repairs, etc.)

An overlease is a lease agreement between a tenant and a subtenant, where the subtenant leases the property from the tenant who is already leasing the property from the landlord. It allows the original tenant to sublet the property to another party.
Tenant and lessee are the same thing, they are a person who rents property from a lessor who own property that he wants to lease.
No. Joint property with the right of survivorship is a non-probate asset. It may help to think of jointly owned property this way: You both owned the whole property. When the other person died their interest in the property simply vanished. You already owned the property and so you "inherited" nothing.
