A Rhode Island Writ of Execution is a legal document issued by the court allowing a civil action to be enforced by a Sheriff. This writ is used to collect a debt or to execute a judgment such as a property or foreclosure. There are three types of Writs of Execution in Rhode Island: Writ of Execution; Writ of Fair Facial; and Writ of Attachment. A Writ of Execution is used to collect a debt or to execute a judgment, such as a property or foreclosure. The Writ of Fair Facial is used to seize and sell personal or real property to satisfy a debt or judgment. The Writ of Attachment is used to seize and hold property until a judgment or debt is satisfied. All three Writs of Execution must be served in order to be enforced.
