The state of California has fifty-eight counties. For judgment creditors, one starts their attempt to reach the majority of types of debtor assets, is to get a writ of execution (abbreviated as a writ) from the courthouse. All writs eventually, so it is a good idea to get your writ after a potential available asset is located. My articles are my opinions and are not, legal advice. I am a judgment expert, and not an attorney. When you need a strategy to use or legal advice, please contact a lawyer. Levies are most commonly used when a judgment owner tries to garnish their debtor's bank account(s) or wages. With a bank levy, one most often picks the Sheriff branch closest to the debtor's bank's levy service location. You must get one writ of execution for each county that you plan to attempt to levy in. One must pay one more Sheriff's levy charge, for every wage or asset you want to levy, with the one writ of execution. Although each civil Sheriff's department will have their own policies, the majority of experts provide two copies of their instructions to the Sheriff, and 3 additional copies of the writ, with all sets of Sheriff instructions. In the circumstance when the debtor has multiple assets in the same county, as an example if the debtor has accounts with 2 banks within a single county; you begin with buying a regular writ for that county. After that, along with your standard levy instruction letter to the Sheriff, you include instructions for them to perform a second bank levy on that other bank, preferably the same day. You must pay another levy officer's charge for the 2nd levy attempt. What if a debtor banks within 2 California counties, and/or the debtor's second bank's location for serving levies is at a different county within California? What if your debtor banks in a certain county and the debtor's paychecks come from a different county? In these kind of cases, you must buy two writs, one for every county, and contact the county's civil Sheriff's department. With bank accounts, it's a good idea to coordinate with all civil Sheriff's, so that all bank levies occur at almost the same time. When your Sheriff levies one bank account a few days prior to the next, the debtor might empty their 2nd bank account before your levy is served. Some California counties are so big (Los Angeles, California for example) that the civil Sheriff's departments have more than one location. With such a case, you may want to call more than one of the Sheriff's, to check which ones currently have the shortest waiting times to serve levies. Certain bigger counties may have civil Sheriff websites that lets you enter the zip code where you want to get your levy paperwork served, to show you what civil Sheriff's department to submit your writ to. Within California, when there's multiple Sheriff offices in a county; when you send the original writ, or a levy gets done; all subsequent levies need to go to that first Sheriff's office that holds that original writ. That Sheriff's civil office will then route your future writ and levy to the right Sheriff's office in that county. Sheriffs in some California counties allow one to hire a registered process server to serve the majority of levies, rather than the Sheriff's office; and that often offers better response times and control. Of course, you still must pay your Sheriff to open their levy case file. Judgment collection is a recovery effort, this means to collect or enforce a judgment.
