California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 9 — Enforcement of Judgments, Division 2 — Enforcement of Money Judgments, Chapter 6 — Miscellaneous Creditors’ Remedies, Article 10 — Other Enforcement Procedures, Section 709.010

(a) As used in this section, “trust” has the meaning provided in Section 82 of the Probate Code.

(b) The judgment debtor’s interest as a beneficiary of a trust is subject to enforcement of a money judgment only upon petition under this section by a judgment creditor to a court having jurisdiction over administration of the trust as prescribed in Part 5 (commencing with Section 17000) of Division 9 of the Probate Code. The judgment debtor’s interest in the trust may be applied to the satisfaction of the money judgment by such means as the court, in its discretion, determines are proper, including but not limited to imposition of a lien on or sale of the judgment debtor’s interest, collection of trust income, and liquidation and transfer of trust property by the trustee.

(c) Nothing in this section affects the limitations on the enforcement of a money judgment against the judgment debtor’s interest in a trust under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 15300) of Part 2 of Division 9 of the Probate Code, and the provisions of this section are subject to the limitations of that chapter.

Notes

Limits enforcement against a judgment debtor’s beneficial trust interest to a creditor petition in a court with jurisdiction over administration of the trust. The court may use measures such as a lien, sale, collection of trust income, or liquidation and transfer of trust property, but all relief remains subject to the Probate Code limitations on enforcement against trust interests.
