                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ATTACHMENT AGAINST REMAINDERS (§ 8.01-547)

If the attachment be against a principal defendant who is a nonresident or an
absconding debtor, the attachment may also direct the sheriff or other officer
to levy the same on any remainder, vested or contingent, of the principal
defendant, or so much thereof as may be sufficient to pay the amount for which
it issues. But no such remainder shall be sold until it becomes vested. A
judgment, however, ascertaining the amount due the plaintiff may be docketed as
other judgments are docketed, but unless it be a personal judgment, it shall be
a lien only on the property levied on.

HISTORY: Code 1950, § 8-534; 1977, c. 617.
