debtor's examination

A debtor's examination is a legal process where a creditor asks the debtor questions under oath to gather information about the debtor's assets, income, and finances. This helps the creditor identify ways to collect the debt, such as discovering property or funds that can be used to satisfy the owed amount. The process is conducted in a court or administrative setting, and the debtor is required to answer truthfully. It’s a tool used to enforce a judgment and ensure debt collection efforts are effective and lawful.
