§ 43-35. How and when validity of lien, or claim of other person to property, is tried
Any person may file his petition, at any time before the property is sold or
the proceeds of sale are paid to the plaintiff under the judgment of the
court, disputing the validity of the plaintiff's lien thereon, or stating a
claim thereto, or an interest in or lien on the same, and its nature; and the
court shall inquire into such claim, and if it be found that the petitioner
has title to, or a lien on, or any interest in, such property or proceeds of
sale, the court shall make such order as is necessary to protect his rights.
