Rule 1-064 Seizure of person or property.

Here's a plain English summary:

When someone files a lawsuit, they may need to make sure the other side can actually pay if they lose the case. This rule allows a court to seize a person or their property while the case is still going on, to make sure money or assets are available later to satisfy the judgment.

These options are only available if state law allows them for that specific situation. The rule itself does not create new powers to seize property or people. It simply confirms that whatever seizure options already exist under state law can be used before and during a lawsuit, following the same rules and limits that state law sets out.

In practical terms, this means someone suing another party might be able to ask the court to hold onto certain property, like freezing a bank account or placing a hold on real estate, so it does not disappear before the case is decided. But this can only happen if state law specifically allows it in that type of case.
