Sheriff's for San Diego, California real estate sale (court order to sell - execution)

A SHERIFF'S SALE is the forced sale of a debtor's property to satisfy a judgment under a writ of execution. The sheriff's sale is the usual method of forcing someone to sell San Diego, California real estate to pay off a judgment. If a person refuses to pay off the judgment, the sheriff's sale is the next step. A WRIT OF EXECUTION is a court order requiring the sale of certain property to satisfy a judgment. The writ of execution extends the lien against the real property for one year. If the judgment has already been recorded as a lien on the property, the writ of execution will not create a new lien. The county sheriff, or other local officials, are then ordered to secure and sell the real or personal property to satisfy the lien.

Taxes and assessments have the priority to any proceeds from a sheriff's sale. Mechanic's liens and any previously recorded judgments have priority over paying the expenses of the sale. If these expenses are paid, a first trust deed is next to be satisfied. Any amount left over is applied toward a second trust deed and any subsequent liens, in the order of their recording, until the proceeds are exhausted.

Injunction (ordered to stop)

An INJUNCTION is a court order to stop doing something. For example, the court may order a developer stop damming up a river.
