- (a) Party's Failure to Act; Ordering Another to Act. If a judgment requires a party to convey land, to deliver a deed or other document, or to perform any other specific act and the party fails to comply within the time specified, the court may order the act to be done -- at the disobedient party's expense -- by another person appointed by the court. When done, the act has the same effect as if done by the party.
- (b) Vesting Title. If the real or personal property is within the state, the court -- instead of ordering a conveyance -- may enter a judgment divesting any party's title and vesting it in others. That judgment has the effect of a legally-executed conveyance.
- (c) Obtaining a Writ of Attachment or Sequestration. On application by a party entitled to performance of an act, the court may order the clerk to issue a writ of attachment or sequestration against the disobedient party's property to compel obedience.
- (d) Obtaining a Writ of Execution or Assistance. On application by a party who obtains a judgment or order for possession, the clerk must issue a writ of execution or assistance.
- (e) Holding in Contempt. The court may also hold the disobedient party in contempt.
