A Rhode Island Writ of Attachment is a court order issued by a Rhode Island court that requires a debtor to turn over certain property to the creditor. This property can include any assets of the debtor that are located in Rhode Island, such as real estate, vehicles, cash, or bank accounts. The Writ of Attachment will usually specify a particular property or assets that the debtor must turn over to the creditor. It may also require the debtor to provide an accounting of their assets and liabilities, and may provide other details about the agreement between the creditor and the debtor. The Rhode Island Writ of Attachment is part of the state's collection process, and can be issued when a creditor has obtained a judgment against a debtor. There are three types of Writ of Attachment in Rhode Island: General Writ of Attachment, Specific Writ of Attachment, and Writ of Execution. The General Writ of Attachment is used to secure a debtor’s non-exempt assets, and the Specific Writ of Attachment is used to secure a particular asset. The Writ of Execution is used to enforce the court’s judgment after a Writ of Attachment has been issued.
