Judgment creditors prefer to use wage garnishment or bank account levy to execute the judgment writ. If neither of those remedies apply the creditor can seize and liqudate non exempt property belonging to the debtor, or place a lien against real property (jointly owned property can usually be attached by a creditor lien).

Can a creditor take your federal or state income tax refund to pay a judgment?

If the judgment is for state or federal taxes then any refund is subject to seizure by the agency holding the judgment. If it is a creditor judgment, a tax refund would only be subject to attachment if it were placed in a bank account that was being levied by the judgment creditor. I would consult with a tax attorney.

Can a bank garnish your pension in a deficiency judgment?

In general, pensions are typically protected from garnishment in the case of a deficiency judgment, meaning that a bank usually cannot seize pension funds to satisfy such a judgment. However, laws can vary by state, and there may be exceptions depending on the type of pension and the specific circumstances. It's important to consult legal counsel or a financial advisor for guidance based on your situation and local laws.
