Verified Motion Proceedings Supplemental Defendant Deft Financial Institution - Order - Exemption Claim

VERIFIED MOTION FOR PROCEEDINGS SUPPLEMENTAL TO DEFENDANT AND TO GARNISHEE DEFENDANT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. This form is used in the Allen Superior Small Claims Court in Indiana to help a judgment creditor (plaintiff) collect a debt from a judgment debtor (defendant) by targeting the debtor’s bank accounts. Once a court has issued a judgment in favor of the plaintiff and the judgment remains unpaid, the plaintiff may use this motion to request that the court begin supplemental proceedings. The plaintiff affirms that the judgment is still unpaid and asserts that the defendant has or may have funds in one or more deposit accounts held by a financial institution (the garnishee defendant). The plaintiff asks the court to notify the defendant of these proceedings and to order the financial institution to answer questions (interrogatories) regarding any accounts in which the defendant has an interest. If granted, the court issues an order directing the financial institution to place a temporary hold on the defendant’s accounts and respond to the court with information about them. The defendant is also ordered to appear in court with evidence of income and assets. Additionally, the form includes a notice of exemptions under state and federal law—such as Social Security or veterans’ benefits—and provides a mechanism for the defendant or any joint account holder to request a prompt hearing to protect exempt funds. www.FormsWorkflow.com
