Force The Sale Of Real Property To Satisfy Your Judgment

A judgment creditor who cannot collect through wage garnishment or bank account levies may need to pursue the debtor’s real property. If a judgment debtor owns land, a home, commercial property, or other real estate, that property can be sold to satisfy the outstanding judgment. An action to sell real property to satisfy a judgment compels the forced sale of the debtor’s real property and applies the proceeds toward what they owe you. Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued these actions on behalf of judgment creditors to recover money by forcing the sale of the debtor’s real estate.

When Real Property Is Your Path To Collection

A judgment debtor may have little income or bank assets to garnish, yet may own valuable real property—a home, investment property, or commercial real estate. A judgment lien can be recorded against this property, but a lien alone does not guarantee collection if the debtor refuses to sell or refinance. An action to sell real property forces the issue by petitioning the court to order a judicial sale. The property is sold, and proceeds are applied to satisfy the judgment. This remedy is particularly effective when the debtor owns substantial real estate equity and is attempting to shield it from creditors.
