§ 816 Forwarding of proceeds of execution by mail.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When a sheriff collects money from someone through a court order (called a writ of execution), that sheriff cannot simply mail the money to the person who won the case. The sheriff needs clear permission first.

The person who won the case, or their lawyer, or someone else acting on their behalf, must specifically tell the sheriff to send the money by mail. Without this instruction, the sheriff has to deliver or handle the money some other way, not through the mail.

This rule protects everyone involved by making sure money doesn't get sent through the mail without someone actually agreeing to it. If you win a case and money is collected on your behalf, you need to give the sheriff specific instructions if you want that money mailed to you.
