Rule 3105 Writ; notation of time of receipt

When a sheriff receives a writ, they must write down the exact date and time they got it. A writ is a legal document that orders the sheriff to take some kind of action, like seizing property.

This record matters because the timing of when the sheriff receives the writ can affect the order in which competing claims are handled. Knowing the exact moment the sheriff got the document helps the court sort out disputes if more than one party has a claim.
