Affidavit Of Garnishment On A Financial Institution

AFFIDAVIT OF GARNISHMENT ON A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. This form is used in the State Court of Gwinnett County to initiate a garnishment action against a financial institution holding funds on behalf of a defendant who owes a debt. This affidavit is filed by the plaintiff, their attorney, or an authorized agent to collect outstanding amounts from the defendant’s bank account or other financial assets. The form is specifically used when a court has issued a judgment against the defendant, and no agreement exists that prevents garnishment at the time of filing. The affidavit requires details about the original judgment, including the case number, the court that issued it, and the county and state where the judgment was granted. It also includes a breakdown of the amount still due, specifying the principal balance, post-judgment interest, attorney’s fees, and any other relevant costs. The affiant, who swears under oath that the stated amount remains unpaid, must sign the document before a notary public or a deputy clerk of the court. The form includes checkboxes to indicate whether the garnishee is a financial institution and whether the garnishment pertains to child support or alimony. If approved, the garnishment order directs the financial institution to freeze and remit funds from the defendant’s account to satisfy the outstanding debt. www.FormsWorkflow.com
