Plain-English Summary
On notice to every other party and with the court's leave, a party can deposit with the court all or part of a sum of money, or any other thing capable of physical delivery, that is the subject of the action or due under a judgment. Money deposited this way is managed under Rule 5 of the Rules Governing the Administration of All Courts. The court releases the deposit to whoever becomes entitled to it, and once a deposit is made, no interest runs against the depositing party on the amount deposited.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why deposit money with the court instead of just holding onto it?
Once the deposit is made, no interest accrues against the depositing party on that amount, and the court takes over managing a disputed fund until it decides who is entitled to it.
Do I need the other side's agreement to make a deposit?
No, but you do need to give every other party notice and obtain the court's leave before depositing.
Who manages money once it's deposited with the court?
It's handled under Rule 5 of the Rules Governing the Administration of All Courts, separate from the Civil Rules themselves.
