Seizure is a legal measure where a bailiff (or other competent authority) makes a debtor's assets or property unavailable to guarantee payment of an outstanding debt. This protects the rights of the creditor (s).

Seizure comes into play when a debt remains unpaid despite previous reminders or legal action. Depending on the situation and the nature of the claim, sums of money such as your income are seized (seizure from third parties), you movable property (such as your household effects or car) or immovable property (like your home).
