What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

Form AT-125 is a Judicial Council of California form used by a plaintiff to request an immediate court order to attach a resident defendant's assets. This pre-judgment remedy is sought 'ex parte,' meaning without advance notice to the defendant, when there's a risk they might hide or dispose of property before a judgment can be enforced. Obtaining this order is a critical step in securing assets to satisfy a potential future court award. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Validates State Bar Number Format

This check ensures the 'State Bar number' field contains a valid numerical format, typically a 6-digit number for the California Bar. This is important for correctly identifying the attorney of record and verifying their standing. If the format is invalid, the form submission will be blocked until a valid number is provided.

Ensures Exclusive Defendant Entity Type Selection

This validation confirms that only one checkbox is selected from the defendant entity type group ('Natural Person', 'Partnership', 'Corporation', 'Other'). A defendant can only be one type of legal entity, so selecting multiple would create a logical contradiction in the legal filing. An error will be displayed if more than one option is checked, forcing the user to select only one.

Requires 'Other Defendant Type' Specification

This is a conditional check that ensures the 'Other Defendant Type' text field is filled out if the 'Other (Specify)' checkbox is selected. This prevents ambiguity by requiring the user to specify the entity type when a standard option is not chosen. Failure to provide the specification while 'Other' is checked will block form submission.

Validates Prior Order Date Presence and Logic

This check verifies that if the 'A Right to Attach Order was issued' box is checked, the 'Order Issue Date' field must be filled with a valid date. The date provided must also be in the past or the current date, not a future date. This ensures the claim of a prior order is substantiated with a plausible and chronologically correct date.

Enforces Mutually Exclusive Undertaking Status

This validation ensures that the user cannot select both 'Plaintiff has filed an undertaking' and 'Plaintiff has not filed an undertaking' simultaneously. These two options are mutually exclusive, and selecting both creates a logical impossibility on the form. The system should alert the user to choose only one of these options to proceed.

Validates Monetary Format for Undertaking Amount

This check confirms that the value entered in the 'Undertaking Amount' field is a valid positive number, which can be formatted as currency. This is crucial for legal and financial accuracy, as the undertaking amount is a specific monetary value central to the court order. Non-numeric or negative values will be rejected.

Common Mistakes in Completing AT-125

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incorrect or Incomplete Court Information
Users often enter a generic county court address instead of the specific street address and branch name for the courthouse handling the case. This happens when filers use a general web search instead of consulting the case file or local court rules for the precise location. Filing at the wrong branch can lead to significant processing delays, rejection of the document, or even having it misfiled and lost, requiring a complete refiling.
Mismatched Case Number or Party Names
Simple typographical errors in the case number or misspellings of the plaintiff or defendant names are frequent. These mistakes can prevent the document from being correctly docketed in the court's system, leading to it being rejected or not associated with the proper case file. It is crucial to double-check these details against existing court documents to ensure accuracy and prevent delays.
Incorrectly Identifying Defendant's Entity Type
Filers may incorrectly classify the defendant, for example, marking 'Natural Person' for a corporation (LLC, Inc.) or vice-versa. This is a critical legal error because the types of property that can be attached and the legal standards differ greatly depending on the defendant's entity status. An incorrect classification can render the entire application legally deficient and lead to its denial by the court.
Failing to Complete 'Specify' Text Fields
A very common oversight is checking a box like 'Other (Specify)' or 'Other Circumstances (Specify)' but then failing to provide the required explanation in the corresponding text field. The court cannot act on an unspecified 'Other' selection, making that part of the application void. This oversight makes the form incomplete and can result in the court disregarding the intended finding or order.
Insufficient Justification for Ex Parte Relief
Applicants often check boxes under 'Irreparable Injury Justification' without providing the necessary detailed facts in a supporting declaration or affidavit. The legal standard for obtaining an order without notice to the other party (ex parte) is very high, and simply checking a box is insufficient. This mistake almost always results in the court denying the ex parte request, forcing the applicant to proceed on a noticed basis and losing the element of surprise.
Vague or Overly Broad Property Descriptions
When describing property to be attached, especially for a natural person, users provide descriptions that are too general, such as 'defendant's bank accounts'. A court order must be specific enough for a levying officer to identify the exact property. Vague descriptions will lead to the court rejecting the application or issuing an order that is practically unenforceable.
Forgetting Attorney State Bar Number
Attorneys or their staff sometimes forget to enter the attorney's State Bar number in the header section. This number is a required unique identifier for practicing attorneys in California, and its absence is a common reason for a court clerk to reject a filing. This simple clerical error can halt the entire filing process until a corrected version is submitted.
Confusion Between Initial and Additional Writs
Users may mistakenly select 'Order for Issuance of Additional Writ of Attachment' when they are filing their first application, or vice-versa. This procedural error indicates a misunderstanding of the case's status and the relief being sought. The court cannot grant an 'additional' writ if an initial one was never issued, leading to rejection of the form and the need to refile with the correct selection.
Ignoring Conditionally Required Fields
This form contains many fields that are only required if a specific checkbox is selected, such as providing the 'Order Issue Date' only if 'A Right to Attach Order was issued' is checked. Filers often check the box but then miss the dependent field that appears or becomes relevant. This leaves the form incomplete and can cause the clerk to return it for correction, delaying the legal process.
Inconsistent Information Regarding the Undertaking
Filers can create confusion by entering an undertaking amount but then checking the wrong box regarding its status (e.g., checking 'Plaintiff has not filed an undertaking' when it has been filed, or vice versa). This inconsistency can cause the clerk to delay issuing the writ of attachment until the status of the undertaking bond is clarified. Using an AI-powered tool like Instafill.ai can help prevent such logical errors by validating related fields against each other.

What is the purpose of the 'Right to Attach Order and Order for Issuance of Writ of Attachment' form?
This form is a court order, signed by a judge, that grants a plaintiff the right to have a defendant's property seized to secure a potential future judgment. It also directs the court clerk to issue the writ that authorizes a levying officer to take the property.
Who is responsible for filling out this form?
The plaintiff (the person filing the lawsuit) or their attorney prepares this form as a proposed order. It is then submitted to the court for a judge's review and signature to become legally effective.
What is the difference between a 'Right to Attach Order' and a 'Writ of Attachment'?
The 'Right to Attach Order' is the court's decision granting the legal right to attach assets. The 'Writ of Attachment' is the subsequent document issued by the clerk that formally directs a levying officer, like a sheriff, to actually seize the specified property.
What does it mean to request an 'Ex Parte' order on this form?
An 'Ex Parte' order is one requested without giving prior notice to the defendant, used in urgent situations. You must prove to the court that there is a danger of 'great or irreparable injury,' such as the defendant hiding assets, if you were to provide notice.
What is an 'undertaking' and why is an amount required?
An undertaking is a financial bond that the plaintiff must purchase to protect the defendant. It covers potential damages the defendant might suffer if the court later determines the attachment was wrongful.
Why do I need to specify if the defendant is a 'natural person' or a corporation?
The law has different rules for attaching property depending on whether the defendant is an individual or a business entity. This information determines which assets are legally available for attachment under the Code of Civil Procedure.
When would I request an 'Additional Writ of Attachment'?
You would request an additional writ if a Right to Attach Order has already been granted, but you need to attach more of the defendant's property. This may be necessary if you locate new assets or the initial attachment was not enough to cover the claim amount.
What information do I need to provide in the 'Irreparable Injury Justification' section?
This section is for ex parte requests and requires you to state the specific reason for urgency. You must check the box indicating a danger that the property will be concealed, its value impaired, or otherwise made unavailable for levy.
What happens after the judge signs this order?
Once signed, the order becomes official, and you can take it to the court clerk. The clerk will then issue the Writ of Attachment, which you provide to a levying officer (e.g., sheriff) to seize the property described in the order.
Can AI tools help me fill out this legal form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to auto-fill form fields accurately and save time. This is especially useful for entering repetitive case information like party names, addresses, and the case number.
How can I use Instafill.ai to complete this form online?
To use Instafill.ai, you upload the form to their platform. The AI will identify all the fields, allowing you to enter your information once and have it automatically populated throughout the document correctly.
My copy of this form is a scanned PDF and isn't fillable. What should I do?
You can use a service like Instafill.ai, which can convert flat, non-fillable PDFs into interactive forms. Simply upload your scanned document, and the platform will make it fillable online.
What other documents are typically required with this form?
This order is based on an application, so it must be accompanied by the 'Application for Right to Attach Order' and supporting declarations. You will also need to file proof that you have obtained the required undertaking (bond).
What is the difference between the 'Property of Non-Natural Person' and 'Property of a Natural Person' sections?
These sections differentiate the property to be attached based on the defendant's entity type. The rules for what property can be seized from an individual ('natural person') are more restrictive than those for a corporation or partnership.
