the garnishee discloses that any other person than the defendant claims the
indebtedness or property in the garnishees hands, and the name and address of
such claimant, the court shall, on motion and notice to all parties to the
action including the garnishee defendant, order that such claimant be
interpleaded as a defendant to the garnishee action; and that notice thereof, setting
forth the facts, with a copy of such order, in such form as the court shall
direct, be served upon the claimant, and that after such service shall have
been made, the garnishee may pay or deliver to the officer or the clerk such
indebtedness or property, and have a receipt therefor, which shall be a
complete discharge from all liability to any party for the amount so paid or
property so delivered. Such notice shall be served in the manner required for
service of a summons in a civil action. Upon such service being made, such
claimant shall be deemed a defendant to the garnishee action, and shall answer
within 20 days, setting forth the claimants claim, or any defense which the
garnishee might have made. In case of default, judgment may be rendered which
shall conclude any claim upon the part of such defendant.
