- Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
A writ of attachment is returnable when fully executed or when the officer is convinced that no property can be found.

At the time of each action taken under the writ, the officer shall endorse the action thereon.
