  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Bankruptcy: Refers to statutes and judicial proceedings involving persons or businesses that cannot pay their debts and seek the assistance of the court in getting a fresh start. Under the protection of the bankruptcy court, debtors may discharge their debts, perhaps by paying a portion of each debt. Bankruptcy judges preside over these proceedings.
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
     For the purposes of this Act, “manufactured home” means a manufactured home as defined in subdivision (53) of § 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of subsection (b)(2) of Section 1322 of the federal Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ? 1322(b)(2)), a manufactured home shall be deemed to be real property. For the purposes of this Act, a manufactured home is “affixed to a permanent foundation” if the wheels, axles, and towing hitch are removed, and it is anchored to real property by attachment to a permanent foundation and connected to residential utilities (such as water, gas, electricity, or sewer or septic service). The certification of a certified residential real estate appraiser, a certified general real estate appraiser, a licensed manufactured home installer, or a licensed professional engineer that the home is affixed to a permanent foundation shall establish conclusively that the home is affixed to a permanent foundation.
