Writ of attachment意思

A writ of attachment is a legal document issued by a court that authorizes the seizure of a debtor's property, usually to satisfy a judgment or to ensure that the debtor appears in court to answer a lawsuit. The property that can be attached typically includes personal property, such as bank accounts, wages, or personal belongings, but it may not include the debtor's primary residence or certain other exempt property. The purpose of a writ of attachment is to secure the judgment creditor's interest in the property and to prevent the debtor from hiding or disposing of assets before the creditor can collect.
