The chancery court shall have jurisdiction of causes of action filed under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. Upon such a complaint, a writ of sequestration or injunction, or both, may be issued upon like terms and conditions as such writs may be issued in other cases, and subject to such proceedings and provisions thereafter as are applicable in other cases of such writs; and the chancellor of the proper district shall have power and authority to grant orders for receivers, in same manner as if the creditor had recovered judgment and had execution returned "no property found." The creditor in such case shall have a lien upon the property described therein from the filing of his complaint, except as against bona fide purchasers before the service of process upon the defendant in the complaint.
