I am aware that service of a ORAP creates a lien in all debtor's
personal property; but I have not read that the issuance of a writ of
execution creates a lien. What is the CCP cite for this?

I have a same situation, re Sheriff's levy under the writ.
Last time I had something like this, I called the levying officer at LASD
and they told me that money would be sent back to the bank. And it was
received by the bank, thus for my client within two weeks. LASD said
something like, we give money back to who we got 'em from...
If anyone could share a pleading, it would be great.

If LASO is handling this levy, they almost always release the funds after
discharge. My client's just take their discharge notice to the civil
processing dept of the LASO and the funds are usually released within 30
days.
Again, funds were levied by order of the plaintiff, so get a release from
the plaintiff's attorney.

You need to file a motion to reopen case and file a motion to avoid lien
because the writ of execution creates a lien in favor of the judgment
creditor by state law which needs to be avoided.

To All:
Summary: Filed chapter 7 for client 7/5/02 to cut off wage garnishment. Debtor
also had bank accounts emptied under writ of execution prior to filing. After
filing and serving notice on sheriff and creditor who filed writ, Sheriff held onto
money and did not disburse to creditor. When I spoke to Sheriff's Office
shortly after filing, I was told that I could either obtain an order from the
bankrupcty court to release the money to the debtor immediately or the
debtor could wait 2 years after discharge and money would be released
automatically b/c writ would expire. Debtor opted to wait for the funds to be
released because the amount was fairly small and she didn't have the funds to
pay for additional work to obtain the order.
Sheriff is still holding onto funds and is now saying debtor needs to obtain an
order from bankruptcy court to release funds. If anyone has dealt with this
issue, any comments would be appreciated.
