Levy Package Information
With all levy packages, we’ll handle the entire process for you. We open the levy with the Sheriff, serve the documents, prepare the affidavit, and file it with the Sheriff’s office. Once it’s filed, we’ll email you a signed copy for your records.
​
If you’d like the original affidavit, just let us know and we’ll be happy to mail it to you.
​
For your convenience, we also keep a secure digital copy of all documents and affidavits for future reference in our portal where you have 24-7 access. Just log in using your credentials.

Important Information Regarding Bank Levies
California Assembly Bill 2364 (Wagner), signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., became law on January 1, 2013. This legislation created Code of Civil Procedure Section 684.115, which requires financial institutions with more than nine branches—and allows those with nine or fewer branches—to designate two or more central locations in California for service of legal process.
This requirement applies to a wide range of financial institutions, including state and national banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and companies engaged in the safe-deposit business.
“Legal process” covers all writs, notices, orders, or other papers that must or may be served under Title 9, including adverse claims to deposits and safe-deposit boxes.
What this means for you:
Most major financial institutions have established centralized service locations—many of which are conveniently located near our Sacramento headquarters.
Below, you’ll find the addresses for the larger institutions we frequently work with to ensure timely and accurate service of bank levy documents.
​
NOTE: Bank of America has indicated it will be removing the listing allowing service to any banch in the very near future. We will keep you posted!
