Enforcing Money Judgments Against Personal Property in Virginia

Abstract

This Note will examine the postjudgment procedures available to a creditor who seeks to enforce a money judgment against personal property owned by the debtor. In addition to analyzing the law of execution as it currently exists in Virginia, this survey will address the effect of the new bankruptcy law. Finally, the constitutional questions that have been raised in other states concerning postjudgment procedures will be discussed in the context of Virginia’s system.
