Third Party Claim

THIRD-PARTY CLAIM. This form used in the State Court of Gwinnett County is a legal document filed by a third party who claims to have a superior right to money or property that is currently being held by a garnishee. The garnishee is typically an employer or financial institution that is holding the defendant's assets for garnishment purposes to satisfy a debt owed to the plaintiff. In this case, the third-party claimant asserts that they have a legal claim to the property or funds in question, either due to a prior judgment or another legal basis. The form requires the third-party claimant to provide details about their claim, including whether they have obtained a judgment against the defendant and the amount owed, or to specify the basis of their claim. The document must be sworn and notarized, and a certificate of service is included to confirm that the plaintiff, defendant, and garnishee have been served with a copy of the form. This form is part of the process to resolve disputes over the garnished property or funds, where the third-party claimant asserts that they have a right superior to the plaintiff's garnishment claim. www.FormsWorkflow.com
