Description

This Foreign Judgment Enrollment Package contains the forms and instructions to enroll a foreign (other State) judgment in your state. A foreign judgment is a judgment entered by a court other than the court of the state where the judgment is sought to be enrolled. Enrolling a judgment allows the judgment creditor or person holding the judgment to enforce it in the state of enrollment and the enrollment creates a judgment lien against the property of the Judgment Debtor.

This enrollment ensures that judgments obtained outside the United States can be given the same effect as domestic judgments and can be enforced against the judgment debtor's assets located in Clark County.
