                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

HOW PROPERTY TO BE KEPT; HOW SOLD, WHEN EXPENSIVE TO KEEP OR PERISHABLE (§
8.01-561)

Any property seized under any attachment and not sold before judgment shall be
kept in the same manner as similar property taken under execution. But such as
is expensive to keep or perishable may be sold by order of the court upon such
terms as the court may direct. If the court directs that the sale may be made on
credit, the court may order the sheriff to take a bond with sufficient surety,
payable to the sheriff, for the benefit of the party entitled. Such bond shall
be returned forthwith by the officer to the court.
