Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:26-3

  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
  • Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
An attachment may issue against the separate and joint property of joint debtors or any of them, either by their names or the name of the partnership or by whatever name they may be generally distinguished, or against the heirs, executors or administrators of them or any of them. The property so attached, whether separate or joint, shall be subject to the payment of the joint debt.

In case of fraud by one of several joint debtors which accrues to the benefit of all the joint debtors an attachment may issue against the separate property of such joint debtor or against the joint property of all.
