A Maryland Request for Writ of Execution is an official document used in the state of Maryland to enforce a court judgment or order, such as for the payment of money. The document is typically used by the plaintiff or judgment creditor to enforce a monetary judgment that has been awarded to the creditor by the court. It is sometimes referred to as an “Execution of Judgment.” There are two types of Maryland Request for Writ of Execution: a writ of fair facial (FIFA) and a writ of execution. A writ of fair facial orders a sheriff or other court officer to seize and sell the property of a debtor in order to satisfy the judgment. A writ of execution orders a sheriff or other court officer to seize and sell only the personal property of the debtor, such as cash, accounts receivable, or other assets, and not real property. Both types of writs require the judgment creditor to provide the court with a list of assets that the debtor owns, and a security bond which guarantees that any property seized by the sheriff will be returned to the debtor if the judgment is overturned. The writ must also be served on the debtor in order to be enforced.
