(b) The garnishee’s memorandum shall be executed under oath and shall contain the following information: (1) A description of any property of the defendant sought to be attached that is not delivered to the levying officer and the reason for not delivering the property. (2) A statement of the amount and terms of any obligation to the defendant sought to be attached that is due and payable and is not paid to the levying officer and the reason for not paying the obligation.

If a garnishee’s memorandum is not received from the third person, the levying officer shall so state in the return.
