How a Bank Execution Works

My husband just got a bank execution. Can the creditor continue to go in and take monies from this account, or is it only one time?

The answer depends on the laws of your state. In most cases, the execution of an attachment, or a garnishment (the names used can also vary from state to state) is a "moment in time" directive to take funds in the name of a judgment debtor and hold them for the court or otherwise deal with them. It would be rare for a legal order to have continuing effect after being served and executed.

It's not unusual for a creditor to request multiple court orders if a judgment isn't satisfied with the first attempt. Call the bank to get a copy of the legal document and/or a response to your question.
