A [[Writ]] that implements an existing right to possession. It does not decide ownership.
## Working notes
A familiar example is enforcement after an [[Unlawful Detainer]] judgment. [[Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 715.010]] addresses real-property possession and the contents of the writ.
In family court, first identify the actual judgment or possession order and the applicable enforcement procedure. An award of possession does not justify a party carrying out an eviction personally.
> [!tip] Explanation example
> Separate the decision about who may occupy the home from the officer’s later enforcement of that decision.
