Full Text of Art. 327
Plain-English Summary
A seizure reaches more than the physical asset itself. Article 327 makes clear that seizing property also seizes what it generates while the seizure lasts — rent from a leased building, crops from a farm, or other revenue the property produces.
The sheriff is the one who collects it. That keeps a debtor or judgment debtor from pocketing income the seized property earns during the seizure period, and it works hand in hand with the sheriff's administration powers under Article 328.
