The Utah Writ of Garnishment And Instructions is a legal process used by creditors to collect unpaid debts from debtors in Utah. The writ is issued by a court and directs a third party (the garnishee) to pay a portion of a debtor's wages or other assets to the creditor. There are two types of writs: wage garnishment for income and property garnishment for assets. Wage garnishment requires the garnishee to deduct a percentage (up to 25%) of the debtor’s paycheck each pay period and send the money to the creditor. Property garnishment requires the garnishee to turn over property, such as real estate, to the creditor in satisfaction of the debt. In both cases, the writ must include the debtor’s name, the creditor’s name, the garnishee’s name, the amount owed, the court information, and the deadline for compliance. Once the writ is issued, the garnishee must notify the debtor and provide detailed instructions on how to challenge the garnishment.
