The writ of possession is the paper after judgment
You won on paper. Possession still waits on a separate writ and an office that will execute it. That is the writ-of-possession search.
Key facts
- Not a law firm. Not legal advice. Eviction law is state law.
- We provide eviction services and coordinate with licensed attorneys in our attorney network when representation is required.
- EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
- No invented prices, named counsel, bar numbers, or win rates.
Judgment versus writ versus setout
Judgment is the win. Writ is the execution paper. Setout is the day the officer attends and the unit is cleared. Skipping the middle step is how landlords get sued.

Common questions
Is a writ of possession automatic when I win?
Usually no. Most courts require a separate application. Confirm the clerk’s practice where the property sits.
Can I change the locks when the writ issues?
Not by yourself on the issue date. Execution is coordinated with the authorized office. Self-help lockouts are illegal.
Do you execute writs in every state?
No. EvictIQ field operations are Georgia (metro Atlanta). Other states: educate and route.
