An order of attachment shall be deemed sufficient if in substantial compliance with the form set forth by the judicial council.(b)Manner of serving order. The attachment order shall be served as follows: (1)Service of attachment. In addition to the process required under article 3 of this chapter, the order of attachment shall be served upon the defendant, if the defendant can be found, in the same manner as an ordinary summons, and a return made thereof.(2)Manner of executing order, inventory. The order of attachment shall be executed by the officer without delay. The officer shall go to the place where the defendant's property may be found and declare that by virtue of said order such officer attaches said property. In attaching personal property, the officer and two disinterested appraisers who are residents of the county shall make a true inventory and appraisal of the same under oath and said inventory and appraisal shall be signed by the officer and the appraisers and returned with the order. Compensation for the two persons assisting with the appraisal and inventory shall be fixed by the court and assessed as additional court costs.(3)Possession of attached property. If the property is tangible personal property, the officer shall take the same into possession if the officer can reasonably do so. If the officer does not take into possession any tangible personal property which is in the possession of some person other than the defendant, the officer shall declare to the person in possession thereof that such officer attaches the same and shall summon such person as garnishee by serving upon the person a copy of the order of attachment.(4)Execution of order against realty.
