Explanation

A writ of execution is a court order directing the county sheriff to seize the judgment debtor's non-exempt personal or real property and sell it to satisfy an outstanding judgment. For real property, this results in a sheriff's sale. Oregon's homestead exemption may protect some equity from execution on a primary residence.
