(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), at the
conclusion of a proceeding pursuant to this article, the court may
order the judgment debtor's interest in the property in the
possession or under the control of the judgment debtor or the third
person or a debt owed by the third person to the judgment debtor to
be applied toward the satisfaction of the money judgment if the
property is not exempt from enforcement of a money judgment. Such an
order creates a lien on the property or debt.
(b) If a third person examined pursuant to Section 708.120 claims
an interest in the property adverse to the judgment debtor or denies
the debt and the court does not determine the matter as provided in
subdivision (a) of Section 708.180, the court may not order the
property or debt to be applied toward the satisfaction of the money
judgment but may make an order pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d) of
Section 708.180 forbidding transfer or payment to the extent
authorized by that section.
