TO THE ABOVE NAMED TRUSTEE:
You are hereby summoned and required to file, within 20 days after service of this summons upon you, exclusive of the day of
service, an answer under oath disclosing what goods, effects or credits, if any, of the defendant named above are in your hands or
possession at the time of the service of this summons upon you which may be taken on execution issued upon said judgment, if any,
as the above-named plaintiff may recover in an action brought against said defendant in the above-named court to the value
of $
. Pursuant to a finding and order of the above named court, such non-exempted goods, effects or credits are
hereby attached. If you fail to respond to this summons as required by law, judgment by default will be taken against you and you
will be adjudged trustee as alleged.
If the credits of the said defendant which are in your hands or possession include wages for personal labor or personal services of
said defendant, you are hereby notified that an amount equal to the greater of 85 per cent of the defendant's gross wages or 50 times
the Federal or Massachusetts hourly minimum wage for each week or portion thereof shall be exempt from this attachment and you
are directed to pay over such exempted amount to said defendant in the same manner and at the same time as each amount would
have been paid if this attachement had not been made. You are further notified that said defendant-employee may have a greater
exemption under federal law than is granted under Massachusetts law. See Title III of the Federal Consumer Credit Protection
Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 1673.
You are hereby notified, unless otherwise permitted by law, if said credits are reserved by you as Trustee for the above named
defendant in a pension, as fully defined in G.L. c. 246, § 28, said amounts in a pension shall be exempt by law from attachment, and
you are directed to pay over such exempted amounts to said defendant in the same manner and at the same time as each such
amount would have been paid if this attachment had not been made.
If you are a trust company, savings bank, cooperative bank, credit union, national banking association or any other banking
institution doing business in the Commonwealth, and if the credits of said defendant in your hands include an account or accounts in
the name of any natural person, you are hereby notified that pursuant to G.L. c. 246, § 28A, the sum of $2,500.00 owned by said
defendant (if a natural person) is exempt from this attachment. No business, trust or organization shall be entitled to this exemption
and no natural person shall be entitled to more than a $2,500.00 exemption at any one time.
Pursuant to Mass. R. Civ. P. 4.2(f), the Court further orders that successive service of this summons may be had until the
amount approved is so attached.
