NRS 31.400 Property in hands of garnishee subject to security interest to
be delivered to sheriff on payment or tender by plaintiff. When any personal property, choses in action
or effects of the defendant in the hands of a garnishee are subject to a
security interest, or in any way liable for the payment of a debt to the
garnishee, the plaintiff may, under an order of the court for that purpose, pay
or tender the amount due to the garnishee, and thereupon the garnishee shall
deliver the personal property, choses in action and effects to the sheriff as
in other cases.
