I must beg to differ.

In Georgia, once one obtains a judgment (against a company or
individual), he or she merely fills out a form at the courthouse,
attaches a $10 check, and files it with the Clerk.  The Court sends that
form to the debtor.

The debtor has 30 days to fill out and return that form that requires
that he list all of his assets in full detail with location, e.g.,
2005 Ford Bronco paid off parked at 1234 Main St., $10,900 at B of A,
Decatur Branch, account 4321.  Failure to do so and he is sent to jail
until the form is provided.  Lying is perjury.

The creditor then has the Sheriff seize sufficient assets to pay the
debt.  A friend of mine tells that he was owed money by the Suisse Hotel
downtown who refused to pay 'cause they were deadbeats.  For his debt of
perhaps $20,000 he seized the entire hotel, having the Sheriff's deputies
preventing guests and employees from entering until the debt was paid.
Many other states have similar provisions.
