NOTICE TO DEBTOR
(1) You have not paid the debt you owe your creditor. The property you possess is therefore seized and is in your custody until judicial sale, unless the court entrusts it to the custody of another person.
(2) You may withdraw from seizure, up to a market value of $6 000 determined by the seizing officer, the movable property which furnishes your main residence and is used by and is necessary for the life of the household, unless such property is seized for sums due on the price.
You may also withdraw the instruments necessary to the personal exercise of your professional activity, unless such property is seized by a creditor holding a hypothec thereon.
(3) If you have any right to assert against the seizure, you will then be able to oppose it.
(4) As guardian of the property under seizure, you have the obligation to keep it and take good care of it until the sale. If you do not comply with this obligation, you may be condemned for contempt of court, which can entail a fine and imprisonment; you may also be condemned to pay damages as compensation for the damage your creditor might suffer.
(5) The property seized will be sold at public auction and the debt will be reimbursed to your creditor out of the proceeds of that sale.
(6) It is in your interest, therefore, if you wish to avoid the sale of your property, to make whatever arrangements are necessary with whomever it may concern.
If you have any questions to ask, we suggest that you consult an attorney.
