===Sweden=== In [[Sweden]], distraint ({{Lang|sv|utmätning}}) is performed by the Swedish [[Enforcement Authority]]. Bank assets and similar are taken first, but if needed the Enforcement Authority can visit people's homes, assisted by the police. Goods needed for an acceptable standard of living are protected, like clothes, TV-sets and stoves. Protected items that are expensive can be replaced with cheaper, and excess items can be taken. Goods found in the home, but belonging to others, e.g. to a romantic partner, can also be taken unless it is proven who it belongs to. Homes can be forcibly sold ({{Lang|sv|exekutiv auktion}}), and everyone living there might be [[eviction|evicted]].
