An Alaska Writ of Execution for Bank Sweep by Government Entity is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Alaska that orders the seizure of a debtor's bank account to satisfy a court judgment. This process is commonly referred to as a bank sweep. Generally, a writ of execution is issued when the debtor has failed to pay a judgment or obligation and the court orders that the funds in the debtor's bank account be used to satisfy the debt. There are two types of Alaska Writ of Execution for Bank Sweep by Government Entity: a Prejudgment Writ of Execution, which is issued before a judgment is entered, and a Postjudgment Writ of Execution, which is issued after a court judgment has been entered. In both cases, the writ orders the debtor's bank to turn over the funds in the debtor's account to the government entity. The funds may then be used to satisfy the court judgment or obligation.
