# O.C.G.A. § 9-13-92. Affidavit of indigence.

In all claim cases where claimants are unable to give bond and security as required in this article, the claimants may file, in addition to the oath required in Code Section 9-13-90, an affidavit as follows:

‘‘I, A.B., do swear that I do not interpose this claim for delay only; that I bona fide claim the right and title to the same; that I am advised and believe that the claim will be sustained; and that because of my indigence I am unable to give bond and security as required by law.’’

When the affidavit has been made and delivered to the levying officer, it shall suspend the sale in the same manner as if bond and security had been given.
