Possession isn't legal right. If the person doesn't have legal right to the assets (because, for instance, a third party, such as the IRS, is owed the assets) then there is no legal need to notify them.

To look at it another way. What benefit, other than moving the assets, would the person receive from a notification?

Standing to quash. That said, this case isn’t about the target receiving notice. The suspect’s lawyers’ banks were subpoenaed, and the lawyers objected to not being noticed. Nowhere is the suspect’s right to notice debated.


Good point. Somewhere in the discussion I forgot about this.
