What property may be levied under a Writ of Fieri Facias?

• A. The goods and chattels of the judgment debtor, except those exempt under Title 34-26 and Title 34-4, and current money and bank notes.
• B. Only real property.
• C. Only intangible assets.
• D. All property without exemptions.

Answer: (A)

A Writ of Fieri Facias is a tool to satisfy a judgment by seizing the debtor’s personal property. The property that may be levied includes the goods and chattels of the judgment debtor, except those exempt under Title 34-26 and Title 34-4, and current money and bank notes. This means the sheriff can take tangible personal property and cash, but only to the extent it isn’t protected by those exemption statutes. Real property isn’t reached by a Fi Fa; land and buildings require different procedures. So the correct concept is that personal property and cash can be levied, with statutory exemptions limiting what can be taken.
