Practice question
A custodian claims ownership of the entire painting against both rival claimants, each of whom disputes the custodian’s title. It relies on the allowance for a stakeholder with an interest. Does that allowance suffice?
- Yes, every ownership interest qualifies.
- Yes, if its claim is the largest.
- Yes, because the claimants disagree.
- No; the allowance requires that the stakeholder’s interest not be disputed by the claimants.
- No; interpleader is unavailable for movable property.
