Execution on judgments in North Carolina is the same whether the judgment was entered by default, consent, confession, jury or bench trial.

You must first serve a copy of the judgment on the debtor. Once the debtor's appeal period (30 days) expires, if the debtor is a corporation or other business entity, you may apply to the Clerk for a Writ of Execution and have it issued to the Sheriff of the County in which the defendant resides.

If the debtor is a person, you must first serve two copies of a Notice of Right to Claim Exempt Property (which must first be file stamped by the clerk of superior court) along with 2 copies of a Motion to Claim Exempt Property for them to return. These forms can be found on the North Carolina courts website.

The debtor then has 20 days to respond. Once that period is over and the debtor has either claimed or waived his/her right to claim an exemption, you can then apply to the Clerk for a Writ of Execution.
