§ 2732. Goods, effects, and credits held by third person
On request of the judgment creditor, the clerk of the court granting judgment shall
issue to the officer holding the execution a summons as trustee to a third person
having in his or her hands goods, effects, or credits, other than earnings, of the
debtor that have not previously been attached on trustee process in connection with
the action. The summons shall be in such form as the Supreme Court may by rule provide
for a summons to a trustee in connection with the commencement of an action and shall
state the date and amount of the judgment. The summons shall be served by the officer
upon the trustee in like manner and with the same effect as mesne process. A copy
of the summons shall be served upon the judgment debtor with the officer’s endorsement
thereon of the date of service upon the trustee. After service of the summons, proceedings
shall be had as provided by law and by rule promulgated by the Supreme Court for trustee
process in connection with the commencement of an action. (Added 1971, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 235, eff. March 29, 1972.)
