The writ of possession is nothing more than a complement of the writ of execution which, without the former, is ineffective; for it would be useless to order a sheriff to sell a real property of a judgment debtor if after the sale is made in the manner provided by law the purchaser, after the expiration of the period of redemption, may not enter upon the possession of the property thus purchased

That would depend upon state and county laws and whether or not the writ must be served personally (handed to a particular individual), left with anyone at a specific address, or left attached at the entrance of a residence or business. Also, what is the writ of possession for? Real property, especially a residence may have other statutory laws governing the timeframe for serving a writ for possession of that property.
