The motion to record the judgment lien means that someone has a judgment against you and he or she wants to record it with the county recorder's office where you live resulting in a lien on your property.
The motion for a writ of execution means that the judgment creditor wants to garnish your wages or levy upon your bank accounts and other assets.
