(a) If the property of the debtor is in the possession, control or custody of an individual, the writ may be delivered to the individual.

If the individual maintains an office for the conduct of business, office delivery may be made under subsection (6) of this section.
(b) If the property of the debtor is in the possession, control or custody of a partnership other than a limited partnership, the writ may be delivered to any partner or to any person designated by the partnership to accept service of a writ of garnishment. If the partnership is a limited partnership, the writ of garnishment may be delivered only to a general partner or to a person designated by the partnership to accept service. If the partnership maintains an office for the conduct of business, office delivery may be made under subsection (6) of this section.

Delivery of a writ in the manner prescribed in this paragraph is effective to garnish all property of the debtor held at all offices and branches of the financial institution located in this state.
(f) If the property of the debtor is in the possession, control or custody of a public body, as defined in ORS 174.109, the writ may be delivered to the board, department, institution, commission or officer charged with approving a claim for the property, or to such person or place as may be designated by the public body.
(2) Notwithstanding ORS 78.1120 (2), if the property of the debtor is money that is owed to the debtor that is not evidenced by a negotiable instrument, certificate, document or similar instrument, the writ of garnishment must be delivered to the person who owes the money in the manner provided by subsection (1) of this section.

The garnishment does not limit the rights of a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument under ORS 73.0302, a holder to whom a negotiable document has been duly negotiated under ORS 77.5010 or a protected purchaser of a security under ORS 78.3030.
(5) If the property of the debtor is an interest of an heir or legatee in an estate of a decedent, the writ of garnishment must be delivered to the personal representative of the estate in the manner provided by subsection (1) of this section.

If office delivery is used, the person delivering the writ, as soon as reasonably possible, shall cause to be mailed by first class mail all of the items required by ORS 18.650 (1) to the garnishee at the garnishee’s place of business or such other place under the circumstances that is most reasonably calculated to apprise the garnishee of the garnishment, together with a statement of the date, time and place at which office delivery was made. Office delivery under this subsection is effective upon the receipt of the writ by the person who is apparently in charge of the office. [2001 c.249 §18; 2003 c.85 §7; 2005 c.269 §1]
