Enforcement of cash benefits

The basis for the enforcement proceedings is the writ of execution (the writ of execution with an enforcement clause).

Enforcement titles - judgments of the court / court clerk, legally binding / with the pain of immediate enforceability, other judgments, settlements, acts subject to enforcement under the law, notarial deeds (catalog - art. 777 of the Code of Civil Procedure).
Enforcement clause - a kind of permission to conduct enforcement proceedings.
The bailiff, as an enforcement authority, does not examine the legitimacy and maturity of the service defined by the enforcement order.

Initiation of proceedings: the creditor (the person for whom a specific benefit has been awarded) submits to the bailiff:

Request for enforcement. (LINK)
The original of the performance title.
A declaration on the selection of a bailiff pursuant to art. 10 u.k.s (applies to cases where the bailiff works outside their assigned district). (LINK)
Power of attorney, if the creditor is represented by a professional attorney.

The bailiff is entitled to establish the debtor's assets from which enforcement may be conducted. The creditor, together with the application for enforcement, may also place an order to search for the debtor's assets for remuneration. (LINK), according to which the bailiff directs inquiries to:

Central Land and Mortgage Register Database

Property inventory

Inventory is nothing more than an inventory of inheritance property, i.e. a list containing movables representing commercial value and real estate owned by the testator (assets and liabilities of the estate).

When to take inventory?

Immediately after the testator's death (security against loss of items included in the estate).
The purpose of the inventory is to limit liability for inherited debts.
The bailiff makes the list at the request of the court or a direct request of the heir (LINK). If the inheritance is accepted in good faith, the inventory is drawn up ex officio.

Which bailiff is competent for a direct application?

The bailiff verifies the liabilities of the deceased testator (including verification of bank accounts).
The bailiff determines ex officio which items will qualify for the inventory.

What happens to the estate?

Items of high commercial value (e.g. jewelry) and money may be deposited in a court deposit.
The remaining items may remain in the possession of the heirs until the final settlement of the inheritance debts.

Application fee - PLN 400.

Protocol on actual state of affairs

own or other people's assessments,
information containing both the factual and legal consequences of the subject of the description.

The bailiff prepares a protocol on actual state of affairs on the order of the court or the public prosecutor (during the course of the court proceedings), or at the request of anyone whose rights are to be related to the report (before the initiation of court proceedings) (LINK).

When is a protocol on actual state of affairs drawn up?

Before commencing a trial or before issuing a judgment upon an order of the prosecutor or court.

The protocol on actual state of affairs is an official document. This means that the specified protocol is proof of what is described in it.

Cost: PLN 400.

Security of claims

Security proceedings mean securing of the creditor's (entitled) claims, which have not yet been confirmed by an enforcement title.

The bailiff performs this service on the basis of a court order, in the manner that is indicated therein and in the security application.

The entitled person, after obtaining the order for payment in the enforcement proceedings, as well as the court's decision on granting security, may immediately submit an application to the bailiff for the enforcement of security (art. 492 of the Code of Civil Proceedings).

The bailiff secures pecuniary claims by: seizure of movable property, remuneration for work, receivables from a bank account or other receivables or other property rights.

Cost: The relative fee for an application for the enforcement of securing a monetary claim or a European order to secure a bank account is 5% of the value of the benefit to be secured.
