660. The writ of seizure of immovables orders the sheriff of the district in which the immovables of the debtor are situated to seize those indicated to him by the seizing creditor and to sell them in satisfaction of the condemnation in principal, interest and costs. It is executed by the sheriff himself or by one of his officers.
An immovable situated partly in one district and partly in another may be wholly seized in either district. In that case, the sheriff may not seize the immovable until he has ascertained that no other minutes of seizure are registered in the land register; if another seizure is registered, the sheriff sends a copy of the writ of execution to the sheriff who drew up the first minutes of seizure so that he may note the second writ upon the first.
