We won a judgment against a flooring company. They have not paid. Tomorrow (7/31) is our court date... we filed a citation to discover assets. Does anyone have any advice or know specific questions to ask so we can get our money?
Thanks so much.

Is your judgement against a company (a corporation) or the individuals who own it? Bank account number(s), vehicle records, and a list of all assets. Some counties have an inventory of personal property in the tax assessor's office; also, you need to know whether the defendant owns real estate.

H George,
Thanks for your response. We always put 'Flooring Warehouse' on the forms so I guess the corporation itself. It's 2 brothers who own it.
Thanks

You need to know the 'business entity' of the defendant. If it is a corporation, you will be attempting to access corporate assets. If it is a partnership or proprietorship, you can access the individual owners' assets. Find out whether the defendant is a partnership or proprietorship operating under a trade name (which is not a corporation, by the way). Corporate names are generally recorded in a state government office for that purpose in each state.

Thanks so much, George!! I'm going to look into this... I'm almost positive it's a partnership and not a corporation. Thanks again.

If it is a partnership, it is my understanding that individual assets are given no protection from creditor claims, whether business or personal.

First don't guess that should be the first question, actually you should have found it out when you started to sue. If it is a partnership you want to know all of their business and private accounts,
