The Registered
Process Server's Guide to Service of Writs of Attachment and Writs of Execution,
2nd Edition
by Tony
Klein
The Registered
Process Server's Guide to Service of Writs of Attachment and Writs of Execution,
2nd Edition was expanded in 2003 and updated through 2005. It explains the
California attachment and levy procedures for registered process servers,
judgment creditors and lawyers and provides a step-by-step "cookbook" for
serving writs of attachment and execution. The book sells for $59.25
($50.00 + t/s). The book is included with the PSI Writ Seminar. The
2005 Updates may be viewed here. The
Cumulative 2004-2005 Updates may be purchased for $25.00 from PSI.
Each section describes what
documents to deliver to the sheriff, what documents to serve on the garnishee
(e.g., the bank in a deposit account levy), what to serve on a third party and
debtor, and how to serve them properly. The book provides the requirements on
how to close the levy file and a checklist for creating and maintaining a
process server's levy file.
This book now includes the
procedures for each of the
22 Attachments and Levies
that may be performed by a registered process server. We have compiled a list
all California code sections that relate to the attachment and levy process and
provide the text of the sections that describe the attachment and levy of real
property, a deposit (bank) account, and wage garnishments. All current Judicial
Council attachment and levy forms relating to these attachments, levies and wage
garnishments are included for reference or copying.
The book includes exemplars of
Letters of Instruction to the Sheriff and Registered Process Server, service
packet exemplars for service on the bank and judgment debtor, and a packet
exemplar for service of a wage garnishment on the judgment debtor's employer.
Exemplars and blank proofs of service for the levies are include for reference
or copying.
This book DOES NOT cover how to
prepare the documents and fill in the information necessary to initiate a levy.
We sell a number of Nolo Press publications that cover some instruction about
preparation. We suggest that if you bundle that into the services you offer
that you familiarize yourself with the laws concerning the "unauthorized
practice of law" and "registered legal document assistants".
If you serve writs, this book
will complement your knowledge. If you are new to serving writs, this book can
keep you out of trouble.
