Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Re: subpoena duces tecum

You didn't say what kind of case it is. If it's one person suing another, both unrelated to you, then, yes, it's probably intrusive and you should move to quash (not "squash") the subpoena promptly. If you're the defendant, particularly if there's already a judgment against you, then you could be liable for further sanctions even for moving to quash, for filing a frivilous motion. If there's a judgment against you, almost everything you own is subject to seizure and sale by legal process. If you ignore the subpoena, you're ignoring a judge's order that you appear and produce the stuff. The judge won't like that, and may order you jailed, fined, or both, for contempt of court. Note that if the subpoena was issued by an attorney or clerk of court, they're acting in an official capacity as officer of the court, with the same legal effect as if the judge had issued the subpoena.

Re: subpoena duces tecum

Do not ignore the subpoena. If you find it intrusive, move to quash it. It sounds like this is for the purpose of executing on a judgment against you, in which case it would seem that what is being requested is well within the range of reasonable. These are all assets that can be executed upon.
