What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon

I have a judgment against a large national corporation. I know that I must register the judgment into Oregon from Illinois.

The debtor business has a branch in Oregon. I have located a large amount of money which is being held in Unclaimed Funds by the State of Oregon. Naturally, the address in their records is the business address of the Oregon Branch.

My question:

If I register the judgment into Oregon, may I then garnish the Unclaimed Property Division for those funds? After all, it's the SAME BUSINESS, simply another branch.

I look forward to any responses.

Thanks.

You have to make sure that its the same business. I don't know what type of business it is but many "branches" of large corporations are franchises rather than corporately owned. A franchise is owned by someone other than the corporation and they merely pay a fee to use the corporate name. McDonalds is a prime example...but many other businesses operate the same way.
