INSTRUCTIONS TO GARNISHEE
(To Attach Other Than Earnings)
You must complete the Answer form which accompanies these instructions within 10 days after the
garnishment order is served on you. The Answer form covers two (2) types of property:
(1) Money, funds, credits or other indebtedness you owe to the judgment debtor (other than
earnings). You must disclose on the Answer any money that you owe to the judgment debtor as of
the date the order is served on you and any money that you owe to the judgment debtor up until the
time you complete the Answer form.
(2) Intangible property or funds of an estate in which the judgment debtor is a beneficiary
under the estate. If you are an executor or administrator of the estate, you must disclose the
information about the estate required on the Answer form and not deliver to the judgment debtor any
such intangible property or funds until further order of the Court from which the order of garnishment
was issued.
If more than one of the categories above applies to you, then you must complete all sections of the
Answer form which apply.
Earnings are defined as compensation for personal services, whether called wages, salary,
commission, bonus or otherwise, which is paid to an employee. If the judgment debtor is an employee of
yours, then the compensation you pay for personal services is earnings and you do not disclose this under
category 1. If the judgment debtor works for you other than as an employee, such as under a contract or
as a contractor, then the money you pay for the work is not earnings and you must disclose all of the
money due the judgment debtor in category 1 above.
Joint Account. If you are a bank, savings and loan association, credit union or finance company and
you hold funds or credits or are indebted to the judgment debtor on an account which the judgment debtor
owns in joint tenancy with one or more individuals who are not subject to the garnishment, you shall
withhold the entire amount sought by the garnishment. You shall not be liable to the joint owners if it is
later determined that the judgment debtor does not own the funds.
Administrative Fee: From funds, credits or indebtedness due the judgment debtor, you may
withhold and retain to defray your costs an administrative fee of $10 for each garnishment order served
on you that attaches funds, credits or indebtedness. Such administrative fee shall be in addition to the
amount required to be withheld under the order for garnishment, except that if the amount required to be
withheld under the order for garnishment is greater than the amount of the funds, credits or indebtedness
held by the garnishee, the fee shall be deducted from the amount withheld.
If you are a bank, savings and loan association, credit union or finance company, and are holding any
funds, credits or indebtedness belonging to or owing the judgment debtor, the amount to be withheld by
you pursuant to the order shall not exceed the amount stated in the order.
Sign and date the Answer form under penalty of perjury on the line provided at the bottom of the
form and file it with the clerk of the district court at the following address:
____________________________________________________________________________.
Hold the money or property disclosed in the Answer form until you receive an order from the court which
will instruct you how to pay the amount that you are holding as indicated by your Answer or such lesser
amount as may be indicated in the order, or until this garnishment is released. This garnishment may be
released in full by the court or the Judgment Creditor.
If you do not receive an order to pay within 60 days following the date your Answer is received by
the court, you may release the funds or property you are holding pursuant to your Answer.
