Debtors Interrogatories

Summons to Answer Interrogatories

A Summons to Answer Interrogatories is directed to an individual judgment debtor, directing him or her to appear before the court or a Commissioner in Chancery, to answer questions concerning the type, amount, and location of all assets, real and personal, in which the judgment debtor has an interest. In Loudoun County Circuit Court, they are heard before Commissioners by appointment. Because this is a post judgment proceeding, any existing case number no longer applies. Each Summons to Answer Interrogatories is a new Civil action; do not assign a previous law action number to any of the Summons to Answer Interrogatories forms. Please schedule an appointment with a Commissioner prior to completing and submitting your filing. View a list of Commissioners (PDF).
