56.16 Executions; claims of third parties to
property levied on. ---If any person other than the defendant
in execution claims any property levied on, he or she may obtain possession of
the property by filing with the officer having the execution an affidavit by
himself or herself, his or her agent or attorney, that the property claimed
belongs to him or her and by furnishing the officer a bond with surety to be
approved by the officer in favor of plaintiff in double the value of the goods
claimed as the value is fixed by the officer and conditioned to deliver said
property on demand of said officer if it is adjudged to be the property of the
defendant in execution and to pay plaintiff all damages found against him or
her if it appears that the claim was interposed for the purpose of
delay.
