A writ of attachment shall be issued on the request of a plaintiff any time after a summons and a complaint is filed but before final judgment. It shall be directed to the sheriff or constable of a county in which property of the defendant is supposed to be, and shall require him to attach all the property of the defendant within his county or so much thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff's demand, together with costs and expenses. It shall be in the name of the court and be sealed with its seal and signed by its judge.
