6-26/140.00 Writ of Sale as Writ of Execution to Collect Money



Unless the court specifically orders the method, manner, or extent of enforcement of a money judgment included in the judgment for sale, a writ of sale may be enforced as a writ of execution to satisfy any money judgment included in the judgment.  If amounts due under the judgment are not satisfied pursuant to the writ of sale, the judgment creditor may use a writ of execution to satisfy any money judgment included in the judgment after the writ of sale has been returned or 180 days after its issuance, whichever is earlier. If the judgment creditor does not desire issuance of a writ of sale (because the secured obligation has been voluntarily satisfied, or other reason), a writ of execution may be issued to satisfy any money judgment included in the judgment. Whether or not a writ has been issued, enforced, or returned, the judgment creditor may use any remedies available under writs of execution to satisfy any money judgment included in the judgment.  (CCP 712.040)
