Filing Writ Of Possession
Summary
If you have a court order for possession in Virginia but unauthorized occupants remain, file a Writ of Possession (form DC-469) to authorize the sheriff to remove them. This involves obtaining the form from the court, completing it with plaintiff and defendant information, court details, case number, and judgment details, and submitting it to the court clerk with any required fees. The Writ of Possession is used in unlawful detainer proceedings and is similar to a Writ of Eviction. Ensure all sections, including the case number, are filled out to avoid delays.
