A quick definition of Nihil est:

Term: Nihil est

Definition: This is a Latin phrase that means "there is nothing." It is often used by law enforcement officials to say that they did not find anything that could be taken or sold according to a legal order.

Example: The police searched the suspect's house but found nothing of value. They reported back to the court, saying "nihil est" and the writ of execution was cancelled.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Latin, "there is nothing." Law enforcement officials may use this phrase to indicate that no property was found which could be seized or sold pursuant to a writ of execution. A writ of execution is a court order that allows a creditor to take possession of a debtor's property to satisfy a debt.

Example: During a search of a debtor's property, law enforcement officials found no valuable assets that could be seized to pay off the debt. They would then report back to the creditor that "nihil est" or "there is nothing" that can be taken.

Explanation: This phrase is commonly used in legal proceedings to indicate that no assets were found that could be used to satisfy a debt. It is important for law enforcement officials to use this phrase to communicate to the creditor that their search was thorough and that there are no assets that can be seized. This helps to prevent any misunderstandings or disputes between the creditor and debtor.
