Garnishees Confession Of Assets Of Property Other Than Wages {DC-CV 61}

DC-CV-061 - GARNISHEE’S CONFESSION OF ASSETS OF PROPERTY OTHER THAN WAGES (Md. Rules 3-645 and 3-645.1). This form from the District Court of Maryland is used in post-judgment proceedings when a creditor seeks to collect on a court judgment by garnishing assets belonging to a debtor that are held by a third party (the garnishee), such as a bank or financial institution. This form is completed by the garnishee to disclose whether they are in possession of any non-wage property or assets of the judgment debtor as of the date the writ of garnishment was served. The garnishee must list and describe any accounts or property held—such as savings or checking accounts—along with the amounts held, any automatic exemptions applied, and the balance subject to garnishment. If no assets are held, the garnishee must state that as well. The form includes a certification that copies were sent to both the plaintiff and the defendant, as required by court rules. The form includes a Notice to the Judgment Debtor explaining the debtor’s rights to claim certain legal exemptions to protect some or all of their assets from garnishment. These exemptions may include federal benefits (such as Social Security), certain types of property (like household goods or tools of the trade), and a general exemption of up to $6,000. The notice emphasizes the importance of acting promptly—within 30 days—to file a motion with the court if the debtor wishes to claim any exemptions. www.FormsWorkflow.com
