What is required before the court can seize a person's property to secure a judgment?

Before a court can seize a person's property to secure a judgment, an attachment bond is required. This type of bond ensures that the party requesting the seizure has a legitimate claim and provides assurance to the court that they will compensate the property owner if the seizure is found to be unjustified. The purpose of the attachment bond is to protect the rights of the property owner by guaranteeing that they are not unfairly deprived of their property without proper legal justification.

In contrast, an injunction bond is typically used in situations where a party seeks to prevent another from taking certain actions, but does not pertain to seizing property. A garnishment bond relates specifically to the withholding of wages or other income from a debtor to satisfy a debt, while a position schedule bond does not have relevance in the context of property seizure. Hence, the attachment bond is the necessary legal instrument to initiate the seizure of property by the court in securing a judgment.
