An Indiana Writ of Execution is a court order issued by a judge in the State of Indiana that authorizes the sheriff to seize and sell a person's property in order to satisfy a judgment or debt. The Writ of Execution is typically issued in civil cases, such as those involving breach of contract, debt collection, and foreclosure proceedings. The Writ of Execution orders the sheriff to seize the debtor's property and sell it at public auction. The proceeds of the sale are then used to pay the judgment or debt. There are two types of Indiana Writ of Execution: Personal Property and Real Property. A Personal Property Writ of Execution authorizes the sheriff to seize and sell personal property, such as cars, furniture, jewelry, and bank accounts. A Real Property Writ of Execution authorizes the sheriff to seize and sell real estate, such as a house or land. In either case, the debtor must be notified of the Writ of Execution with sufficient time to make arrangements to pay the judgment or debt.
