Depends on what the judgment is for. It the business was a part of the debt, yes. In the case of the IRA, not usually unless it can be proved the contribution(s) constituted fraud.

The preferred method of executing a judgment is by wage garnishment, followed by bank account levy, the seizure and liquidation of non-exempt property and liens against real property. The state exemptions allowed for personal and real property when properly used can give the defendant/debtor considerable protection against the enforcement of a creditor judgment.
