MORE ABOUT WRIT OF EXECUTION
The We The People Writ of Execution can be used as the first step to enforcing a money judgment you have won in a court case.
If the County where your case was filed requires an Application for Issuance of Writ and Order before issuing the actual Writ, this document will also be prepared for you.
If you win your case and the judgment debtor does not pay you the amount owed within 30 days after entry of the judgment and there is no appeal pending, then you can place a levy on wages or other property of the judgment debtor to collect the money owed to you. In order to place the levy you must first have the court issue a Writ of Execution. The Writ of Execution is a certification of the amount owed and allows the levying office (in California this is usually the
County Sheriff) to begin the process of collecting on the judgment that is owed to you.
Depending on the method you intend to use to collect funds from the debtor, you may need additional documents that are not included with a Writ of Execution.
A separate writ must be issued for each county where you believe the debtor has funds that can be collected to satisfy your judgment. For example, if the debtor works in Los Angeles County but banks in Orange County, two Writs of Execution may be required. You can continue to request that a new Writ be issued until the money judgment is satisfied, except that a new writ may not be issued until the expiration of 180 days after the issuance of a prior writ unless the
writ could not be acted on.
