Civil procedure: property subject to attachment.

Existing law, known as the Attachment Law, authorizes a plaintiff to use the remedy of attachment against a defendant's property to secure the amount of the claimed indebtedness to the plaintiff and specifies the property of the defendant that is subject to attachment. The Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act authorizes an attachment to be issued in any action for damages for financial abuse of an elder or dependent adult, as specified. This bill would provide that, if an attachment is issued in an action for damages for financial abuse of an elder or dependent adult, any property of the defendant would be subject to attachment.
