Planning Checklists

Either the personal property pre-seizure checklist (see this Manual at 2277) or the real property/business pre-seizure checklist (see this Manual at 2278) is to be used for pre-seizure planning. The planning checklists and financial analysis worksheets identified in these guidelines are to be used where formal pre-seizure planning is required, e.g., in all cases involving the seizure of improved real property, ongoing businesses, or live animals. They are not required for seizures presenting no significant seizure or management difficulties. The Personal Property Pre-seizure Checklist form is to be used to collect the necessary information to make informed pre-seizure planning decisions involving personal property seizures. The Real Property/Business Pre-seizure Checklist form is to be used for residential, business, and commercial realty seizures. Individual offices may supplement these forms as they see fit. However, the basic information called for in these forms is required and may not be eliminated. [cited in USAM 9-111.110]
