Your association's attorney can help you find the appropriate lien form. It is key that you follow your governing documents' collection process -- detailed in a properly adopted, and filed, amendment or By-law -- in order to assure the association's success in collecting monies owed by the owner.
If you chose the incorrect lien form, or if the association does not have the authority to file a lien, or has not followed the pre-filing steps required in your governing documents, the owner can challenge the lien and escape this action.

Yes. A note on the interest part--your state's law will dictate what interest, if any, you will receive.

Make sure that it is a part of the sale of the lien that the HOA will cooperate in any foreclosure proceedings that might occur to collect the lien--without them, the homeowner will likely win.
