§ 841 Property, equitable interests subject to execution.

If someone wins a court case and gets a judgment against you for money owed, they can go after your property to collect that debt. This includes property you fully own, but it also includes "equitable interests," which means property you have rights to even if it's not fully in your name in the usual way.

The only property protected from this is anything the law specifically says creditors cannot touch. Common examples of protected property include things like certain retirement accounts or a portion of your home's value, depending on other state laws. Outside of those specific protections, almost everything you own or have a stake in can potentially be used to pay off the judgment.

The person who won the case can collect what they're owed either by filing a new legal action or by using other collection methods allowed under the law. This rule basically gives creditors broad power to reach a debtor's assets after winning a judgment, as long as those assets are not specifically shielded by another law.
