HOW CLAIM OF THIRD PARTY TRIED (§ 8.01-365)

When a writ of fieri facias issued from a circuit court, or a warrant of
distress, is levied on property, or when a lien is acquired on money or other
personal estate by virtue of § 8.01-501, and when some other person than the
one against whom the process issued claims the property, money, other personal
estate, or some part or the proceeds thereof, then either (i) the claimant, if
such suspending bond as is hereinafter mentioned has been given, (ii) the
officer having such process, if no indemnifying bond has been given, or (iii)
the party who had the process issued, may apply to try the claim, by motion to
the adverse party, to the circuit court of the county or city wherein the
property, money, or other personal estate is located.
