A New York Writ of Execution Against Property is a court document issued by a judge in the state of New York that allows a creditor to recover a debt owed to them by seizing the debtor’s property. The writ is issued by the court to a sheriff, marshal, or other law enforcement officer, who then serves the writ on the debtor and/or their property. If the debtor does not pay the debt, then the creditor is entitled to take possession of the property and sell it in order to satisfy the debt. There are four types of writs of execution against property in New York: a general writ of execution, a writ of execution against real property, a writ of execution against personal property, and a writ of execution against wages.
