Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Interesting question. I cannot think of a situation where a writ of possession "goes stale" or "expires." A landlord who secures a Writ of Possession after be awarded one by the Court, does not have to act on it, the actual act of eviction under the color of authority of the sheriff. He might also choose to delay having it executed. Without more specifics it would be difficult to specifically answer your question. You may want to hire a Georgia real estate attorney to review your lease and the Writ of Possession you were served with to discuss specifically. Please let me know if I can be of assistance. Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes only and does establish an attorney-client relationship.********

It doesn't expire.

Unless you are completely foolish, you had beeter move yourself and stuff IMMEDIATELY, as otherwise it could end up ruined and outside with no notice to you.

Unfortunately, it is common for people who let things get to a writ of possession to keep trying to finds ways to stay in property (usually without paying). If this is you (and we do not know), then your best option is to find a new place to live. While people continue to find ways to stay, the Sheriff shows up and all belongings are thrown on the street. If those people know they are in the wrong, money used to pay a lawyer to review everything can be spent on moving.
