Legal FAQs

If you have obtained a judgment against a debtor, can you share in any monies remitted under a notice of garnishment issued by another creditor?

Yes, if you have filed a writ of seizure and sale in the jurisdiction where the debtor resides, you and any other execution creditors with writs filed in that jurisdiction are entitled, pursuant to the Creditors’ Relief Act, to share on a pro rata basis the monies remitted to the Sheriff under the garnishment.
