Rotate Legal Nevada Foreign Judgments Forms For Free

If a judgment debtor does not voluntarily pay the judgment, the judgment creditor can try to collect the money from the judgment debtor involuntarily. This is called ?executing? the judgment. A judgment creditor can execute upon a judgment debtor's wages, real property, bank account, or cash box.

The process for renewing a judgment is found in NRS 17.214. The judgment creditor files a Declaration for Renewal of Judgment with the clerk of the court where the judgment was entered within ninety days before the date the judgment is set to expire.

However, Nevada allows for judgments to be renewed, which if done correctly will continue the judgment for another six years from the date of renewal. This process has several steps but they cannot be done incorrectly because Nevada courts strictly enforce the statutory procedure.

How does a creditor go about getting a judgment lien in Nevada? To attach the lien, the creditor files the judgment with the county recorder in any Nevada county where the debtor has property now or may have property in the future.

If you already have a judgment, then Nevada law provides legal remedies to obtain assets from a debtor who is unwilling to voluntarily pay. These remedies include bank and wage garnishments. You can also obtain a court order for the judgment debtor to appear for an examination under oath to list assets.

Nevada has adopted the uniform law on domesticating foreign judgments in Nevada. The first step is to obtain an exemplified copy of the judgment from the original court. The exemplified judgment is then filed with the Nevada court, and the defendant/debtor is given notice of the filing.
