Which state's statute of limitations applies if you do not live in the state where the judgment is filed?

In: Statutes of Limitations

[Edit]

Answer

The SOL where the judgment is filed would be the one used. However, when a the debtor moves to another state the usual procedure is to file an abstract judgment against property that the debtor now owns in the new state. There are a few cases where a transfer of judgment is not allowed. The deciding factor would be how the judgment is to be executed and the type of litigation it is in conjunction with.
