Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. An attachment is a legal procedure where a court orders the seizure of property to be held as security or to be sold to satisfy a debt if a judgment is later secured. It can be used as a pre-judgment remedy when a creditor is concerned that the debtor may dispose of their assets or leave the jurisdiction to avoid paying the debt.
