A Writ of Possession returned unsatisfied is a legal document indicating that a court order to evict a tenant or reclaim property has not been successfully executed. This can occur if the local authorities were unable to carry out the eviction due to various reasons, such as the tenant's refusal to leave or the property being occupied without legal justification. The return of an unsatisfied writ may require further legal action or a different approach to resolve the situation.
No, a writ returned does not necessarily mean it has been satisfied. A writ returned indicates that the court has received the document back, often with information about the outcome of the enforcement action. Satisfaction of the writ means that the terms of the writ have been fulfilled, which may or may not be the case when the writ is returned.
A Writ of Possession is a legal document issued by a court that allows a landlord or property owner to regain possession of a property after a successful eviction proceeding. Once granted, it authorizes law enforcement to remove the tenant or occupants from the property if they do not vacate voluntarily. The writ typically outlines the timeframe for compliance and ensures that the property is returned to the rightful owner. Execution of the writ must follow local laws and procedures to ensure it is carried out lawfully.
No, a landlord cannot file a Writ of Possession without first obtaining a judgment for eviction through the legal eviction process. The Writ of Possession is a court order that allows law enforcement to remove a tenant from a property, but it requires that the landlord has formally filed for and received an eviction judgment. Without this prior step, the landlord does not have the legal standing to file for a Writ of Possession.
A writ of possession is a legal precept directing a sheriff to put a person in peaceable possession of property recovered in ejectment or writ of entry. It's a court order to move out right now. If you don't, you will be forcibly removed by law enforcement, along with your stuff (at your expense), real soon!
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
No, "writ returned" does not mean paid. A "writ returned" typically indicates that a legal document, such as a court order or judgment, has been served or executed, but it does not imply that any associated debts or obligations have been settled. The status of payment would need to be verified separately.
It means the court that issued the writ requires that it be served and the results of the service retunred to the court.

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.
A writ is a legal order or command, an official mandate requiring the performance of a specific act. Examples of writs include a writ of possession, writ of execution, writ of garnishment, etc. Presumably the writ referred to in the question would have something to do with a home or other real estate.
Usually there will not be a separate eviction filed after a foreclosure. Typically, the plaintiff will request that the clerk issue a writ of possession as a part of the foreclosure. The judge may direct the clerk to issue the writ of possession as a part of the foreclosure judgment or the Plaintiff may request it afterwards. Once the writ of possession has been issued, it must be delivered to the sheriff. The sheriff will post the writ on the property and you have 24 hours to vacate. In short, not very long.
