Rule 64 Seizing a Person or Property

When someone files a lawsuit in Nevada, they may need a way to protect their chances of collecting money if they win the case. This rule allows courts to use tools that grab hold of a person or their property while the case is going on, so there's something available to satisfy the judgment later.

The rule lists several specific tools courts can use. These include arrest, attachment (holding onto someone's property), garnishment (taking money from wages or bank accounts), replevin (getting back property that was wrongfully taken), and sequestration (setting aside property until the case is resolved). Courts can also use other similar legal tools that work in the same way.

The main point is that Nevada law gives courts a range of options to secure property or people connected to a case. This protects the person who filed the lawsuit by making sure that if they win, there's a real way to collect what they're owed. Which tool applies depends on the specific situation and what state law allows.
