What is the process by which the court orders the seizure or attachment of property described in the writ?

• A. Writ of Garnishment
• B. Writ of Attachment
• C. Writ of Sequestration
• D. Writ of Execution

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is securing assets by directly seizing property named in a court order. The writ of attachment is the tool that authorizes the seizure or attachment of specific property described in the writ, to hold value for a potential or pending claim and prevent dissipation while the case proceeds. This differs from garnishment, which targets money or property held by a third party; sequestration, which preserves assets to keep them intact during litigation; and execution, which enforces a judgment after one has been entered by taking the debtor’s property to satisfy that judgment. So the process described—seizure or attachment of property named in the writ—is best described by the writ of attachment.
