California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 9 — Enforcement of Judgments, Division 2 — Enforcement of Money Judgments, Chapter 3 — Execution, Article 5 — Duties and Liabilities of Third Persons After Levy, Section 701.070

If a final money judgment has been levied upon and the levying officer has served the judgment debtor under the final money judgment levied upon, the judgment debtor shall make any payments due under the judgment to the levying officer. Payments made to a person other than the levying officer do not discharge the obligation of the judgment debtor under the final money judgment levied upon if the payments are made after the judgment debtor has received notice of the levy.

Notes

Requires a judgment debtor whose final money judgment has been levied and who received the required levy service to make payments due under that judgment to the levying officer. Payments made elsewhere after the debtor receives notice of levy do not discharge the debtor’s obligation under the levied judgment.
