Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A writ of attachment is a prejudgment writ that allows a party to seize property before a judgment is entered. The purpose of this writ is to ensure that the property will still be available to satisfy a judgment if the party is successful in their claim. The other options, writ of garnishment and writ of execution, are post-judgment writs used to collect on a judgment that has already been entered. Writ of exigent is not a recognized legal term.
