M.R. Civ. P. 70
JUDGMENT FOR SPECIFIC ACTS
If a judgment directs a party to execute a conveyance of land or to deliver
deeds or other documents or to perform any other specific act and the party
fails to comply within the time specified, the court may after notice and
opportunity to be heard, direct the act to be done by some other person
appointed by the court and the act when so done has like effect as if done by the
party, except that the appointee of the court shall have no authority to execute
a conveyance of land located outside the State of Maine. The court may also in
proper cases adjudge the party in contempt.
