A Tennessee Writ of Attachment is a legal document issued in the state of Tennessee that grants a creditor the right to seize the assets of a debtor. This writ is issued by the court, usually at the request of the creditor, and it must be served on the debtor before the creditor can take any action. The writ allows the creditor to take possession of a specified amount of the debtor's personal property or real estate to secure payment of the debt. There are two main types of Tennessee Writ of Attachment: general and specific. A general writ allows the creditor to take any and all the debtor's assets up to the amount of the debt, while a specific writ allows the creditor to take only certain specified assets. The writ will remain in effect until the debt is paid in full or the court orders its release.
