Statute Text
Garnishable property generally.
Except as specifically provided in ORS 18.600 to 18.850, a writ of garnishment
delivered to a garnishee garnishes all personal property of the debtor,
including but not limited to property in safe deposit boxes, stocks, wages,
monetary obligations owing to the debtor that are then in existence whether due
or to become due, property held on expired and unexpired bailments and leases,
and property held by the garnishee pursuant to a security interest granted by
the debtor to the garnishee. A writ of garnishment acts to garnish all property
of the debtor possessed by the garnishee, all property of the debtor over which
the garnishee has control and all property of the debtor that is in the custody
of the garnishee. If a person other than the debtor has an interest in the
garnished property, the writ of garnishment acts only to garnish the interest
of the debtor in the property. [2001 c.249 §7]
