Real Estate Attachments
Real estate attachments can be essential tools of pre-judgment security. The highly respected collections attorneys at the Law Offices of Alan M. Cohen & Associates LLC use real estate attachments as a placeholder for your execution. If you have an attachment, your security interest is ahead of subsequent attachments and/or mortgages. This fact remains true even if the later-filed cases go to judgment before you have obtained judgment against your debtor. For help getting paid, contact our relentless commercial debt collection attorneys at 508-763-6604 or email us today.
Provided that a deputy sheriff in Massachusetts levies and suspends on your execution within 30 days after it has been issued, you will leapfrog ahead of all later attachments. That is why it is so crucial to quickly pursue action in these cases.

Cohen & Associates LLC. We have nearly 50 years of combined experience in commercial debt discovery, prejudgment security and post-judgment collections.

How To Obtain A Real Estate Attachment In Massachusetts
If you are seeking a real estate attachment, there are two common ways that it can be obtained: either give notice to the defendant, or use an ex parte attachment, which is done without notice. In Massachusetts, it is typically harder to obtain an ex parte real estate attachment due to the traceability of fraudulent transfers. If there is a pending sale, however, or if notifying the defendant will likely lead to conveying, concealing, or adding an encumbrance, lien or, mortgage or any other action reducing the debtor’s equity in the real estate, courts may be more willing to ex parte issue a real estate attachment.
What Are The Prerequisites For A Real Estate Attachment?
As with all discretionary policies, different judges will differently interpret the prerequisites for a real estate attachment and what factual allegations do or do not suffice to allow the real estate attachment. Some judges will not allow an ex parte attachment at all, while some will allow the attachment as long as it is demonstrated that the debtor cannot be trusted not to take action on their real estate if notified in advance, or if it is discovered that there is a pending sale on the property.
