Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the plaintiff at the time of issuing the summons, or at any time thereafter, may apply to the court for an order directing the clerk to issue a writ of attachment and thereby cause the property of the defendant to be attached as security for the satisfaction of any judgment that may be recovered, unless the defendant gives security to pay such judgment as provided in this chapter. 2. If the Department of Taxation has taken over the management of a local government pursuant to the provisions of NRS 354.686, and if a plaintiff is allowed by law to apply to a court for an order directing the clerk to issue a writ of attachment, the plaintiff must comply with the applicable provisions of NRS 354.701 before applying for such an order. [1911 CPA § 205; RL § 5147; NCL § 8703]—(NRS A 1973, 1170; 2005, 1394) NRS 31.013 Issuance of writ of attachment after notice and hearing. The court may after notice and hearing, order the clerk to issue a writ of attachment in the following cases: 1. In an action upon a judgment or upon a contract, express or implied, for the direct payment of money: (a) If the judgment is not a lien upon or the contract is not secured by mortgage, lien or pledge upon real or personal property situated in this state; or (b) If such lien or security has, without any act of the plaintiff or the person to whom the security was given, become valueless or insufficient in value to secure the sum due the plaintiff, in which case the attachment shall issue only for the unsecured portion of the amount due the plaintiff, which is equal to the excess of the amount due the plaintiff above the value of the security. 2. In any case where the attachment of the property of the defendant is allowed pursuant to this chapter or other provision of law. 3. In any other case where the court finds that extraordinary circumstances exist which will make it improbable for the plaintiff to reach the property of the defendant by execution after the judgment has been entered.

In an action by a resident of this State, where the defendant is about to remove his money or property, or any part thereof, from this State, and the defendant’s property which may remain within this State, if any, will be insufficient to satisfy plaintiff’s claim. For purposes of this subsection only, a foreign corporation qualified to do business in this State as provided in chapter 80 of NRS shall be deemed a resident of this State. 5. Where the defendant is about to give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, dispose of or conceal his money or property or any part thereof and the defendant’s money or property remaining in this State or that remaining unconcealed will be insufficient to satisfy the plaintiff’s claim. 6.
