You bet they can!!
If they have a judgement against you then they certainly are able to take any money that comes to you.

Actually, while they may be legally entitled to take it through execution, they have to locate it first. If you have already received it, then they can attach it or garnish it if you deposit it into a bank account. If you have NOT received it yet, then it depends upon whether or not they file a claim with the administrator of the estate/personal representative. Also, it depends upon the form you receive the inheritance. If your benefactor set up a spendthrift trust for you to receive payments, then it can't generally be attached by your creditors.

Yes, they can, and yes, they will. This is exactly the reason I always sue tenants who leave me in the lurch and then docket the judgment. Now and then someone dies and leaves them money, and my hands are there wide open to collect it, with interest and court costs.

If you have received it, change it to read "In trust for", or if you have a child, put it under his/her name.
