If a corporation fails to satisfy any judgment against it arising out of its liability under any title insurance policy, issued, insured, or assumed by it, within thirty days after the finality of the judgment becomes fixed, the judgment may be enforced against its guaranty fund deposit through the following procedure:
1. The judgment creditor shall petition the court wherein the judgment is entered and as part of the same cause, truthfully setting forth the facts regarding the failure to satisfy the judgment as required by this section.
2. Upon the petition the court shall direct the issuance of a special execution directed to the sheriff of Burleigh County, requiring that the sheriff sell so much of the securities on deposit as may be required to satisfy the judgment and pay the costs of the levy.
3. The special execution must be executed by the sheriff by delivering to the state treasurer and to the commissioner a certified copy of the writ of execution together with a certified copy of the judgment and of the petition and order, and within ten days thereafter there must be delivered to the sheriff sufficient securities to satisfy the judgment in full. The sheriff shall sell the securities upon execution as in the case of sales of personal property upon execution generally.
