A Missouri Writ of Execution is a legal document issued by a court to enforce a judgement in a civil lawsuit. It is used to collect a judgement from a debtor, either through seizing their property or garnishing their wages. A Writ of Execution can be issued by a court to authorize the seizure of real or personal property from a debtor in order to satisfy a judgement. It can also be used to garnish wages from the debtor's employer. There are two types of Missouri Writ of Execution: a Writ of Execution on Personal Property and a Writ of Execution on Real Property. The Writ of Execution on Personal Property authorizes the seizure of movable personal property (e.g. furniture, jewelry, cars, etc.) from a debtor, and the Writ of Execution on Real Property authorizes the seizure of real estate owned by the debtor. Both types of Writs must be served by a sheriff or other authorized officer.
