Sc 133* Judgment Debtor's Statement Of Assets Small Claims Judicial Council Forms

Use a SC 133* Judgment Debtor's Statement Of Assets Small Claims Judicial Council Forms template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the SC-133 form does

The SC-133 Judgment Debtor’s Statement of Assets is a California Judicial Council form used after a small claims judgment to disclose information that may help identify property available for enforcement. The judgment debtor reports financial details such as employment, income, real property, vehicles, bank accounts, and other assets, then signs and dates the statement. The form is not a general contract or tax return. Complete every applicable field accurately, preserve supporting records, and confirm the serving or filing instructions issued by the relevant California court.

Who uses the SC-133 form

Judgment debtors

A judgment debtor uses this California Judicial Council form to disclose assets, income, employment, real property, vehicles, bank accounts, and other property after a small claims judgment. The completed statement helps the judgment creditor evaluate collection options and gives the court a structured record of the debtor’s financial information.

Collection participants

Judgment creditors, collection counsel, and court staff review the SC-133 information when pursuing or administering enforcement after a small claims judgment. Users should confirm the court’s filing, service, signature, and privacy requirements because this form contains sensitive financial details.

Platform requirements for SC-133

Complete the SC-133 in a current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge browser on Windows or macOS. SignNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, subject to the device and application requirements in force when used.

  • Supported browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktop access
  • Mobile systems iOS and Android mobile apps

SC-133 completion challenges

  • Asset values and account details may be incomplete when the debtor relies on memory instead of current statements.
  • A missing signature, date, or case identifier can delay review or require correction before delivery.
  • Uploading the SC-133 without restricting access can expose sensitive financial information to unintended recipients.
  • Electronic completion does not by itself establish filing or service with the California small claims court.

SC-133 troubleshooting questions

These answers address field setup, signer identity, electronic-signature rules, court delivery, and protection of the SC-133’s financial disclosures.

Upload the original SC-133 PDF again, then use signNow’s field detection and manually verify every asset, income, and signature field before sending.

Use signNow’s recipient settings to assign the debtor as signer. Do not rely on a typed name alone when the court or recipient requires a signed declaration.

Business includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode; neither changes California court filing or service rules.

ESIGN and UETA generally support electronic records and signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and reliable reproduction are shown. Confirm whether the court accepts an electronically signed SC-133.

Export the completed PDF and audit trail from signNow, then follow the court’s delivery instructions. SignNow storage does not itself prove filing, service, or acceptance.

Limit access to the SC-133 because it contains financial information. Use signNow permissions, authenticated recipients, and a controlled archive; ask the court about sealing or redaction requirements.
