21.114 - Sureties: Submission to jurisdiction of court; exceptions to sufficiency and justification. - Nevada Statutes

21.114  Sureties: Submission to jurisdiction of court; exceptions to sufficiency and justification.

      1.  By entering into any undertaking provided for in NRS 21.112, the sureties thereunder submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the court and irrevocably appoint the clerk of the court as agent upon whom any papers affecting liability on the undertaking may be served. Liability on such undertaking may be enforced on motion to the court without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such reasonable notice of the motion as the court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court, who shall forthwith mail copies to the sureties if their addresses are known.

      2.  Exceptions to the sufficiency of the sureties and their justification may be had and taken in the same manner as upon an undertaking given in other cases under titles 2 and 3 of NRS. If they, or others in their place, fail to justify at the time and place appointed, the sheriff must release the property; but if no exception is taken within 5 days after notice of receipt of the undertaking, the judgment debtor shall be deemed to have waived any and all objections to the sufficiency of the sureties.
