§3869. Seized property claimed by third person; affidavit of ownership; demand for indemnity bond
In all cases wherein the sheriffs or constables may have seized or may be required to seize any personal property, by virtue of any mesne or final process issuing from a court of competent jurisdiction, and which property shall be claimed by a third person as owner, either personally or in a representative or fiduciary capacity, upon giving the notice to the plaintiff or his attorney, and allowing due time for the execution thereof, the claimant may demand an indemnity bond, signed by the plaintiff or his attorney, and a solvent surety in an amount double the value of the property seized, conditioned upon the payment of all damages which the sheriff or constable may sustain in case such third person should be adjudged the owner of the property. Before any indemnity bond can be required of the plaintiff, the third person claiming the property or his attorney, having personal knowledge of the facts, shall make affidavit that he is the real bona fide owner of such property, either personally or in such representative or fiduciary capacity, and shall therein fully set forth all the facts on which his title or claim of ownership is based.
