- Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
- Probate: Proving a will
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
If a conservator fails to obey any process requiring him or her to appear and file his or her accounts and vouchers for a final or partial settlement, the court of probate may, by attachment, compel his or her appearance and may, if on appearance he or she refuses to file such accounts and vouchers or to show good cause for his or her omission, imprison him or her for a period not exceeding six months.
