The party for whom the execution was issued or the party's attorney of record, or otherwise authorized, may abandon proceedings under any execution at any time by filing with the court from which issued a written statement of such abandonment, or by causing the writ to be returned and filed with an endorsement to the effect that it had been so abandoned, and by paying the costs of such execution and proceedings thereunder, including any actual out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable costs incurred by the sheriff, and by discharging of record any notice of levy which has been filed in any recording or registry office, and by releasing any property seized thereunder.
All proceedings, notices, levies, and liens taken pursuant to such execution shall be deemed abandoned, discharged, and released upon the filing of such statement or endorsement. The abandonment of an execution as herein permitted shall be without prejudice to the issue of subsequent executions.
