Execution:
a.    Issuance of a writ.  Court order issues a writ which orders the sheriff to seize non-exempt property, sell it and to pay the proceeds to the judgement creditor until the judgement is fully paid.
b.    Levy on the property.  Sheriff seizes property—will either actually take it or tag it.  Real estate can’t be taken so it is seized by posting.
(i)    Majority rule on seizure—if you don’t take the property, there is no judicial lien.
(ii)    Minority rule—you can leave the property and still have a lien, but only on the property that you levy on.
(iii)    Can’t levy on inventory w/out seizing it.  (Under Article 9, you can get an SI in changing inventory.)
c.    Judgment Creditor becomes a judgment lien creditor once property has been levied upon.
