Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A writ of execution is a court order that empowers a sheriff or other official to enforce a judgment by seizing property belonging to the debtor and selling it. In this case, Alan obtained a postjudgment writ of execution to seize Henderson's property and satisfy the judgment he owes. A writ of attachment is a court order that permits the seizure of property to secure a potential judgment in a later legal proceeding; a writ of garnishment directs a third party to pay debts owed to the debtor directly to the creditor; and a writ of exigent refers to an emergency situation that justifies a warrantless search or seizure by law enforcement.
