# O.C.G.A. § 9-13-73. Application of fund to younger lien with senior lienholder’s consent.

If an execution creditor having the older lien on a fund in the hands of the sheriff or other officer allows the fund by his consent to be applied to a younger writ of execution, it shall be considered an extinguishment pro tanto of the creditor’s lien insofar as third persons may be concerned.
