Creation of Judgment Lien on Personal Property in NY (CA default judgment)

[ShingH]

What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA

Hi folks - any help would be sincerely appreciated.

We have a default judgment entered in LA County Superior Court against a judgment debtor in NYC. In California, we would file a Notice of Judgment Lien on Personal Property (Form J-1) to create the judgment lien, but I am unable to find the NY equivalent of such a form. Even if there was such an equivalent, is it necessary to domesticate the judgment to NY? If so, what process, and would I run into problems since it was a default judgment? Thanks for any information or advice.

Bingo! You got it.

If so, what process, and would I run into problems since it was a default judgment?

That's way more involved than this website is going to be able to help you with. You can consult a NY attorney, try the library, or start reading the NY Court website here: http://www.courts.state.ny.us/litigants/

Whew! Well thanks for the info; I've browsed the NY courts' website but didn't find any specific info... will try checking with a clerk in the AM to see if they can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
