The Illinois Answer to Citation to Discover Assets Proceeding is a type of legal action used to compel a debtor to disclose assets to the court. This type of proceeding is initiated when a judgment creditor files a Citation to Discover assets in court. The citation orders the debtor to appear before the court and provide a full accounting of all of their assets and liabilities. The debtor is required to respond to the citation within a certain period of time, usually 21 days. If the debtor fails to respond, the court may issue an Order of Default, which allows the judgment creditor to move forward with the collection process. The Illinois Answer to Citation to Discover Assets Proceeding consists of two different types of pleadings: a Verified Answer (filed by the debtor) and an Objection (filed by the judgment creditor). The Verified Answer is the debtor’s response to the citation and must include a complete accounting of all assets and liabilities, as well as any other information requested in the citation. The Objection is the judgment creditor’s response to the Verified Answer and can include objections to the accuracy or completeness of the answer. If the court finds that the debtor has failed to comply with the citation, it may issue an Order of Default, which allows the judgment creditor to move forward with the collection process. If the court finds that the debtor has complied with the citation, the court may enter an Order of Compliance, which dismisses the citation and allows the judgment creditor to move forward with the collection process.
