system.

monetary judgments, eviction orders, and specific performance
decrees. This broad scope encompasses both civil and criminal matters,
ensuring that execution procedures are available for a wide range of
legal requirements.

Decree
Depending on the nature of the decree and the geographic location, the court with jurisdiction to

carried out effectively and lawfully.
Powers and Duties of the Executing
