A sheriff brought me a paper stating that he was ordered to execute on any and all personal property of mine. However, the judgment is to my previous last name. I have been married for over a year and really the only thing "I" own is my car, and it's in my married name. So can they levy my car? Also my bank account is in my husband's and my name. I don't work, so those are not my wages. Can they withhold those funds even though the account is not in the name stated in the judgment? The sheriff didn't take anything, ask me about my personal possessions, bank account, or employment. If he was going to seize something wouldn't he have done it when he gave me the paper? Please only answer if you can help. Don't say "I don't know" or "ask a lawyer". I would appreciate only answers from people who have experience with this situation. Thanks so much!
