The type of property to be levied upon and the type of defendant determine whether the attachment levy can be made and the method of levy. If the defendant is an artificial person (corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or limited liability company) all property for which there is a method of levy is subject to levy. If the defendant is a natural person, only certain property is subject to levy. (CCP 487.010, 488.475, 492.040, 695.010)
