A Notice of Attachment Before Judgment is a legal document filed by a creditor, typically a bank, in order to secure its claim against a debtor. It is also known as a prejudgment writ of attachment. The Notice of Attachment Before Judgment allows the creditor to attach the debtor’s assets, such as a bank account or real estate, before a judgment has been issued by the court. This gives the creditor the assurance that the debtor will not move or sell the attached assets before the court renders its judgment. There are two types of Notice of Attachment Before Judgment: Ex Parte Attachment and Notice Attachment. An Ex Parte Attachment does not require the debtor to be informed about the filing. A Notice Attachment requires the creditor to provide written notice to the debtor before filing the Notice of Attachment Before Judgment. The notice must include the amount of the debt, the court in which the creditor has filed the Notice of Attachment Before Judgment, and the date on which the creditor will file the Notice of Attachment Before Judgment.
