A writ of execution is a court order for a sheriff to seize the debtors property and sell it at a public auction. If the auction proceeds are not adequate to satisfy the judgment, the judgment holder can continue to issue writs of execution until the proceeds from the public sales have satisfied the judgment, including any additional legal fees and the costs of the execution.After the judgment holder and/or his counsel complete the paperwork for a writ of execution, the next step is usually for the sheriff to contact the debtor to request payment. If the writ of execution is for personal property, the sheriff will usually appear in person and give the debtor two options: 1) pay the judgment and costs, or 2) a moving company will come and move the property to storage so it can be auctioned.If the writ of execution is for real property, the sheriff will often contact the debtor by phone initially. If that is unsuccessful, the sheriff will contact the debtor by mail to request payment. If the debtor does not respond, or will not pay, the sheriff posts the real property for public sale. This often involves publishing public notice of the sale in a legal newspaper.Judgment debtors almost always respond to the writs of execution by paying the judgment and costs. They realize the consequences of not paying their debt have changed. With limited exceptions, debtors who previously claimed to be destitute miraculously discover a means to pay their debts. Writs of execution are a superb method of collecting on a judgment.
