Rule 90.11.Disbursement.

Once a garnishee pays or delivers property into court under Rule 90.10, someone still has to decide when the garnishor gets it. Rule 90.11 answers that question for the routine case: when no trial of contested issues is required under Rule 90.10(b), and no motion to quash the garnishment and no objection to a claimed exemption is pending, the property is disbursed to the garnishor, less costs, within ten days — without the garnishor needing to ask a judge for an order first.

That ten-day clock adjusts if the garnishee has asked for additional costs under Rule 90.12(a). In that case, disbursement to the garnishor happens within ten days after the court decides how much in additional costs the garnishee is owed, instead of ten days from the payment itself. Either way, the garnishor’s recovery comes out net of whatever costs are due.

The picture is different whenever a trial is required under Rule 90.10(b). In that scenario, the property stays put — it cannot be disbursed at all without a court order, since the underlying dispute over who is entitled to the property has not yet been resolved. Rule 90.11 draws that line so that routine, undisputed garnishments move money quickly while contested ones wait for a judicial decision.
