In some states of the United States you can get an order of attachment of personal property, which is tantamount to a civil search warrant, if the items listed were listed as collateral when the loan was taken out. But you cannot search a person's property just to see what he has that you can take if you win a judgment: you can only make an inquisition of assets to determine what you can take, and get a court order to take such property.
If a person dies and there is reason to believe he has a will somehere in his home, for example, in a safe, you can get a probate judge to issue you a search warrant to search the area.

No, a warrant cannot be issued for a civil summons. Civil cases typically involve disputes between individuals or entities and are not criminal in nature. Warrants are typically issued in criminal cases when someone is accused of a crime and fails to comply with a court order or fails to appear in court.
