§ 5227. Payment of debts owed to judgment debtor. Upon a special

proceeding commenced by the judgment creditor, against any person who it

is shown is or will become indebted to the judgment debtor, the court

may require such person to pay to the judgment creditor the debt upon

maturity, or so much of it as is sufficient to satisfy the judgment, and

to execute and deliver any document necessary to effect payment; or it

may direct that a judgment be entered against such person in favor of

the judgment creditor. Costs of the proceeding shall not be awarded

against a person who did not dispute the indebtedness. Notice of the

proceeding shall also be served upon the judgment debtor in the same

manner as a summons or by registered or certified mail, return receipt

requested. The court may permit the judgment debtor to intervene in the

proceeding. The court may permit any adverse claimant to intervene in

the proceeding and may determine his rights in accordance with section

5239.
