Length: 199 wordsOfficial source
If a judgment directs a party to execute a conveyance of land or to deliver deeds or
other documents or to perform any other specific act and the party fails to comply within
the time specified, the court may direct the act to be done at the cost of the disobedient
party by some other person appointed by the court and the act when so done has like
effect as if done by the party. On application of the party entitled to performance, the
clerk shall issue a writ of attachment or sequestration against the property of the
disobedient party to compel obedience to the judgment. The court may also in proper
cases adjudge the party in contempt. If real or personal property is within the state, the
court in lieu of directing a conveyance thereof may enter a judgment divesting the title of
any party and vesting it in others and such judgment has the effect of a conveyance
executed in due form of law. When any order or judgment is for the delivery of
possession, the party in whose favor it is entered is entitled to a writ of execution or
assistance upon application to the clerk.
