Illinois Citation to Discover Assets is a legal tool used by creditors to locate and recover assets owned by debtors who have defaulted on their debt obligations. Creditors may file this motion in Illinois state court to issue a court order for debtors to appear in court and produce documents that reveal their financial assets. The court order will direct the debtors to appear and provide information regarding their financial assets, including bank accounts, real estate, income, investments, and other financial records. The goal of the court order is to help creditors locate the debtor’s assets in order to recover the debt that is owed. There are two different types of Illinois Citation to Discover Assets: a Motion for Citation to Discover Assets and an Order of Citation to Discover Assets. The Motion for Citation to Discover Assets is filed by the creditor and requests the court to issue an order that requires the debtor to reveal their financial assets. The Order of Citation to Discover Assets is issued by the court and directs the debtor to produce documents and appear before the court to provide information on their assets.
