Pennsylvania Precise and Writ of Execution Mortgage Foreclosure is a process whereby a mortgage lender can recover the money owed to them by a borrower. The Precise is a legal document that initiates the foreclosure process, and the Writ of Execution is a court order that authorizes the sheriff to take possession of the property and sell it at public auction. There are two types of Pennsylvania Precise and Writ of Execution Mortgage Foreclosure: Judicial Foreclosure and Non-Judicial Foreclosure. Judicial Foreclosure requires the lender to file a lawsuit against the borrower in civil court, while Non-Judicial Foreclosure is less formal and does not involve a court hearing. Both processes begin with the lender filing a Precise, followed by the Writ of Execution that orders the sheriff to take possession of the property and conduct a public auction.
