A quick definition of scire fieri inquiry:

A scire fieri inquiry is a legal writ used to determine the location of a deceased person's property when a previous writ of execution, called a fieri facias, did not result in finding any assets. The fieri facias is a writ that orders a sheriff to seize and sell a person's property to pay off a debt. If the sheriff cannot find any property to seize, a scire fieri inquiry can be used to locate the property of a deceased person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Scire fieri inquiry is a legal writ used to determine the location of a testator's property from an executor. This writ is used when the sheriff returns nulla bona to a writ of execution fieri facias de bonis testatoris.

Example: If a person owes money to someone and fails to pay, the creditor can obtain a judgment against the debtor. If the debtor still does not pay, the creditor can obtain a writ of execution, such as a fieri facias, to seize and sell the debtor's property to satisfy the judgment. If the sheriff returns nulla bona to the writ of execution, the creditor can then obtain a scire fieri inquiry to locate the debtor's property from the executor of the debtor's estate.

This example illustrates how a scire fieri inquiry is used in conjunction with a fieri facias writ to locate a debtor's property when the sheriff returns nulla bona.

I have this professor for a legal analysis and writing for clients class that said you will need a JD and legal experience to get an A. He also grades ridiculously hard but leaves no comments on why you got that grade or what you did wrong. Dude is pissing me off with the whole you are wrong figure it out approach.
