28 Post Judgment Remedies Judgment Liens Writs of Execution Garnishment Debtor s Examination Fraudulent Transfers
29 Judgment Liens Judgments will give rise to automatic lien on real property in county where judgment was rendered. Exceptions Judgment must be registered in county where real estate is located Judgment from Associate Circuit Court will only give rise to lien upon payment of fee and judgment being registered in the permanent record Judgment entered by small claims and municipal courts do not give rise to a lien Preservation of Lien Conclusive presumption that every judgment presumed satisfied after 10 years from date of judgment Judgment creditor must revive judgment within such time. If properly revived, then judgment is valid an additional 10 years, but the judgment lien will expire in three years
30 Garnishment Definition The court orders a 3rd party to turn over the debtor s property that is in possession of the 3rd party Example Wages, Bank Accounts Who can be a Garnishee? Anyone (technically) What can be Garnished? Goods, Money, or Personal Property Process Court Judgment Notice Summons Timing
31 Writs of Execution Mo. Rev. Stat , et seq. The right to execute on a final judgment in Missouri arises upon rendition of the same. Procedure Levy Personal Property: Possession, or posting of notice, if possession impracticable. Real Property: Notice with Recorder of Deeds Claiming Exemptions Quashing the Execution: Application, Notice, Cause, Bond

33 Debtor s Examinations If a sheriff returns an execution unsatisfied or the judgment creditor is without sufficient knowledge to advise the sheriff where and on what to levy execution, the judgment creditor is allowed to conduct a debtors exam. A debtors exam requires that the judgment debtor appear and answer concerning his means of satisfying the judgment. Under Missouri law, there are several barriers to meaningful post judgment discovery, including, a higher burden imposed on a creditor where the judgment debtor has invoked the Fifth Amendment.
34 Fraudulent Transfers Missouri has adopted the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act Mo. Rev. Stat , et seq. Property, obligations and liens can be avoided Reach Back Period: potentially 4 years or more Actual Fraudulent Transfers Actual Intent to Hinder, Defraud, or Delay Creditors Intent usually not admitted = Badges of Fraud Constructive Fraudulent Transfers Debtor received less than reasonably equivalent value Insolvency Tests
