Execution Packet Garnishment

EXECUTION PACKET GARNISHMENT. This packet of forms is used for post-judgment collection procedures in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. It is designed for judgment creditors to take action to collect the amount owed to them after a court has issued a judgment in their favor. Here’s an overview of the key forms and their purposes: 1. Application for Writ of Execution (Form E-1): The creditor applies to the court to request an execution order that allows for the seizure of the debtor’s property to satisfy the judgment. 2. Writ of Execution (Form E-2): This document authorizes the U.S. Marshal to seize and sell the debtor’s property to satisfy the judgment. 3. Summons and Notice to the Garnishee (Form E-3): This form is used to notify a third party (such as an employer or a bank) who holds the debtor's assets (wages or funds) to withhold a portion of the debtor's earnings or funds to pay the judgment. 4. Notice to Garnishee/Employer (Form E-4): Provides details to the employer on how to calculate and withhold the appropriate amount from the debtor’s wages. 5. Answer of Garnishee/Employer for Wages & Salary (Form E-5): The garnishee/employer must respond, providing the required details about the debtor's wages and confirming the amount to be withheld. 6. Answer of Garnishee for Funds Other Than Salaries (Form E-7): For situations where the garnishment involves funds other than wages, such as money held by a financial institution. 7. Notice to Judgment Debtor (Wage Garnishment or Non-Wage Garnishment) (Forms E-6, E-8): These forms notify the debtor of the garnishment and provide instructions on how they can challenge or exempt certain assets from being seized. 8. Motion to Quash Garnishment/Execution & Claim Exemption Rights (Motion Form 1): This allows the debtor to challenge the garnishment or claim exemptions if the property or wages are legally protected. The forms are meant to provide a structured legal process for creditors to collect the judgment owed and for debtors to protect certain assets or challenge the collection process, ensuring compliance with state and federal laws regarding garnishment and exemptions. www.FromsWorkflow.com
