what is a writ of execution in civil court?

Question

i have a writ of execution for a civil matter in supeiror court i sign a stipulation of judgment as well what does all this mean?

Answer 1

Simply put: In court the judge ruled against you and has ordered you to either pay a certain amount of money or turn over property that he has determined does not belong to you. As a stipulation of his judgement he has signed a writ of execution. What this writ means is if you don't pay the judgement the sheriff (or neutral party dictated by the judge) will be allowed to confiscate all the money in your bank accounts and auction off any personal property you own until the judgement is met. This personal property can be anything including, but not limited to: Cars, electronics, clothing, CD's/DVD's, furniture.

I don't know what state you live in, but the best advice I can give is either to pay the judgement or immediately file for an appeal and apply for an extension of the writ pending the decision of the higher court. Depending on your state this may not be an option, but it's worth looking into.

Answer 2

The stipulation ended the litigation. A judgment entered for the plaintiff in accordance with the stipulation. If the judgment is not paid (usually within 30 days), the plaintiff applies for a writ of execution, which is given to a duly authorized person to seize any assets available to satisfy the judgment: house, car, bank account, etc.

Answer 3

It means you need to consult an attorney. Never sign anything you don't understand. Always consult an attorney for any legal issue your don't understand. I don't know what a writ of execution or a stipulation of judgment is, but you apparently need better advice than you can count on from here.
