1. “To the extent [plaintiff's] argument is predicated on the existence under the EJL of a 'judgment lien' against [decedent's] real property created during his lifetime as a result of the recording of the abstract of judgment for spousal support payable in installments (§ 697.320, subd. (a)(1) ), any such lien was effectively extinguished once [decedent] died. (See Prob. Code, § 9300 ['Except [with respect to execution liens existing at the time of the decedent's death] all money judgments against the decedent ... are payable in the course of administration' and are not enforceable under the EJL].)”
