5225 - Payment or Delivery of Property of Judgment Debtor.

§  5225.  Payment  or  delivery  of  property  of judgment debtor. (a)
Property in the possession  of  judgment  debtor.  Upon  motion  of  the
judgment creditor, upon notice to the judgment debtor, where it is shown
that  the  judgment debtor is in possession or custody of money or other
personal property in which he has an interest,  the  court  shall  order
that  the  judgment  debtor  pay  the  money,  or  so  much  of it as is
sufficient to satisfy the judgment, to the judgment creditor and, if the
amount to be so paid is insufficient to satisfy the judgment, to deliver
any other personal property, or so much of it as is of sufficient  value
to  satisfy  the judgment, to a designated sheriff. Notice of the motion
shall be served on the judgment debtor in the same manner as  a  summons
or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
  (b)  Property not in the possession of judgment debtor. Upon a special
proceeding commenced by the  judgment  creditor,  against  a  person  in
possession  or  custody of money or other personal property in which the
judgment debtor has an interest, or against a person who is a transferee
of money or other personal property from the judgment debtor,  where  it
is  shown that the judgment debtor is entitled to the possession of such
property or that the judgment creditor's  rights  to  the  property  are
superior to those of the transferee, the court shall require such person
to  pay  the  money,  or  so  much of it as is sufficient to satisfy the
judgment, to the judgment creditor and, if the amount to be so  paid  is
insufficient  to  satisfy  the  judgment,  to deliver any other personal
property, or so much of it as is of  sufficient  value  to  satisfy  the
judgment,  to a designated sheriff. Costs of the proceeding shall not be
awarded against a person who  did  not  dispute  the  judgment  debtor's
interest  or right to possession. Notice of the proceeding shall also be
served upon the judgment debtor in the same manner as a  summons  or  by
registered  or  certified  mail, return receipt requested. The court may
permit the judgment debtor to intervene in the proceeding. The court may
permit any adverse claimant to  intervene  in  the  proceeding  and  may
determine his rights in accordance with section 5239.
  (c)  Documents  to effect payment or delivery. The court may order any
person to execute and deliver any document necessary to  effect  payment
or delivery.
