Plain-English Summary
Section 25-1014 avoids duplicated paperwork when the same property gets attached more than once by the same officer. Rather than preparing a fresh inventory and appraisement each time, one such document, prepared the first time, is enough to cover every subsequent attachment of the same property.
That single inventory and appraisement does not need to be returned with more than one of the orders, either. The record stays complete without repeating the same descriptive and valuation work every time a new order reaches property already under attachment.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the same property is attached twice, does the sheriff have to prepare two inventories?
No. Section 25-1014 lets one inventory and appraisement, prepared by the same officer, cover different attachments of the same property.
Does the inventory need to be filed with every order that attaches the same property?
No. It is not necessary to return the same inventory and appraisement with more than one order.
Does this section apply if different sheriffs attach the same property?
The section addresses attachments made by the same officer; it does not extend the single-inventory shortcut to attachments carried out by different sheriffs.
Why would the same property end up under more than one attachment order?
Multiple creditors can each pursue the same defendant’s property, and section 25-1007 already anticipates several orders against the same defendant reaching a sheriff.
Does section 25-1015 relate to this one?
Yes. Section 25-1015 covers how already-attached property gets handled under later, subsequent orders, which is the situation this section’s single-inventory rule is designed to simplify.
