Yes, you typically need to file a judgment before obtaining a Writ of Execution. The Writ of Execution is a court order that allows a creditor to enforce a judgment by seizing the debtor's property or assets. Therefore, a valid judgment must first be established through the court process, which then provides the basis for issuing the writ.

No, a landlord cannot file a Writ of Possession without first obtaining a judgment for eviction through the legal eviction process.

Without this prior step, the landlord does not have the legal standing to file for a Writ of Possession.

What can they sell at a Writ of execution?
The writ of execution is an order directing the Sheriff to seize certain property of the debtor and sell it in a manner prescribed by law. The proceeds from the sale are used to pay the judgment. Often, writs of execution are aimed at bank accounts, and creditor's money is simply frozen and then used to pay off the debt. Wages also can be garnished to collect the money. Any personal property of value, such as a car, televisions, electronic equipment, or tools can also be seized. The plaintiff can also file a judgment lien against your real property (land and buildings) and foreclose on the lien (process of selling the property to pay the judgment lien) People who receive a writ of execution might be able to work out payments with the creditor, depending on the circumstances. Any repayment plan likely will be monitored and enforced by the court that issued the judgment. Once a writ of execution is issued, there is little recourse available to the debtor. In the case of dire financial circumstances, the debtor might consider bankruptcy or other legal options to stop it. These options should be discussed in depth with a qualified attorney.
What can be taken from you in a judgment?
State laws dictate what personal and real items belonging to a debtor are exempt from execution of a judgment writ. The preferred method of judgment creditors for enforcing the writ is wage garnishment or bank account levy against the judgment debtor. Generally the same property that is exempted in bankruptcy proceedings will also be exempted from attachment by a judgment creditor. It is in the best interest of the judgment debtor to obtain legal advice if faced with such a situation. The debtor's property is NOT automatically protected they need to file documents required by the court to keep exempted property from being possibly seized for sale or encumbered by liens.
