California Undertaking By Personal Sureties (Attachment-Claim And Delivery) is an agreement between a creditor and a debtor that allows a creditor to attach a debtor’s property to secure payment of a debt. The debtor agrees to give the creditor a lien on the property in exchange for a promise by the creditor to release the lien if the debt is paid. The security interest in the debtor's property is held by the surety, who is usually a third party such as a bank, trust company, or other financial institution. The surety agrees to pay the creditor if the debtor fails to pay the debt. This type of arrangement is commonly used when a debtor is unable to obtain financing from a traditional lender. There are two types of California Undertaking By Personal Sureties (Attachment-Claim and Delivery): 1. Attachment: This type of undertaking allows the creditor to attach the debtor’s property in order to secure payment of the debt. The attachment must be done by a court order and the creditor must file a claim and demand for delivery of the property. 2. Claim and Delivery: This type of undertaking allows the creditor to make a claim against the debtor’s property and demand delivery of the property. The creditor must file a claim in order to make a demand for delivery. The court will order the debtor to deliver the property to the creditor, or it can order the debtor to pay the debt.
