Writ Of Seizure And Sale

Writ Of Seizure And Sale
A court order that permits a creditor to instruct a sheriff to seize and sell assets/property of a debtor in order to pay off a debt.

To get the debtor's property sold, or to put a lien on it, the creditor must obtain a writ of seizure and sale from a court. This is usually a final solution once all other options have been exhausted.
