Nevada Writ of Execution
About this form
A Writ of Execution is a legal document used in Nevada small claims courts to enforce a judgment when a creditor seeks to collect debts owed by a debtor. It empowers a constable or sheriff to seize the debtor's property or garnish wages to satisfy the judgment. This form is essential for initiating the process of collecting debts legally and differs from just a judgment, as it allows the creditor to take action if the debtor fails to pay voluntarily.

- Judgment Date: Specifies the date when the judgment was entered.
- Judgment Balance: Details the amount owed including principal, interest, and fees.
- Property Description: Identifies the personal or real property subject to the execution.
- Exemptions: Outlines possible exemptions that may protect certain assets from being seized.
- Return Instructions: States how and when to return the completed writ after the execution attempt.
