No judgment debtor may be required to appear outside the county in which he resides. 2. If the judgment debtor is required to appear before any person other than a judge or master: (a) His oath or affirmation must be administered by a notary public; and (b) The proceedings must be transcribed by a court reporter or recorded electronically. The transcript or recording must be preserved for 2 years. 3.

[1911 CPA § 365; RL § 5307; NCL § 8863]—(NRS A 1983, 17; 1989, 902) NRS 21.280 Proceedings in aid of execution; appearance of judgment debtor before court; arrest; bail or commitment. After the issuing of an execution against property, and upon proof by affidavit of a party or otherwise, to the satisfaction of the court or of the judge thereof, that any judgment debtor has property which he unjustly refuses to apply toward the satisfaction of the judgment, such court or judge may by an order require the judgment debtor to appear at a specified time and place before such judge, or master appointed by him, to answer concerning the same; and such proceedings may thereupon be had for the application of the property of the judgment debtor toward the satisfaction of the judgment as are provided upon the return of an execution. Instead of the order requiring the attendance of the judgment debtor, the judge may, upon affidavit of the judgment creditor, his agent, or attorney, if it appear to him that there is danger of the debtor absconding, order the sheriff to arrest the debtor and bring him before such judge. Upon being brought before the judge, he may be ordered to enter into an undertaking, with sufficient surety, that he will attend from time to time before the judge, or master, as shall be directed during the pendency of proceedings, and until the final determination thereof, and will not in the meantime dispose of any portion of his property not exempt from execution. In default of entering into such undertaking, he may be committed to prison. [1911 CPA § 366; RL § 5308; NCL § 8864] NRS 21.290 Third party may pay judgment. After the issuing of an execution against property, any person indebted to the judgment debtor may pay to the sheriff the amount of his debt, or so much thereof as may be necessary to satisfy the execution, and the sheriff’s receipt shall be a sufficient discharge for the amount so paid. [1911 CPA § 367; RL § 5309; NCL § 8865] NRS 21.300 Debtor of judgment debtor may be examined. After the issuing or return of an execution against property of the judgment debtor, or of any one of several debtors in the same judgment, and upon proof by affidavit or otherwise, to the satisfaction of the judge, that any person or corporation has property of such judgment debtor, or is indebted to him in an amount exceeding $50, the judge may, by an order, require such person or corporation, or any officer or member thereof, to appear at a specified time and place before him, or a master appointed by him, and answer concerning the same. [1911 CPA § 368; RL § 5310; NCL § 8866] NRS 21.310 Witnesses required to testify.

The judge or master may order any property of the judgment debtor not exempt from execution, in the hands of such debtor or any other person, or due to the judgment debtor, to be applied toward the satisfaction of the judgment. [1911 CPA § 370; RL § 5312; NCL § 8868] NRS 21.330 Proceedings on claim of third party to property or on denial of debt to judgment debtor. If it appears that a person or corporation alleged to have property of the judgment debtor, or indebted to him, claims an interest in the property adverse to him, or denies the debt, the court or judge may authorize, by an order made to that effect, the judgment creditor to institute an action against such person or corporation for the recovery of such interest or debt; and the court or judge may, by order, forbid a transfer or other disposition of such interest or debt until an action can be commenced and prosecuted to judgment. Such order may be modified or vacated by the judge granting the same, or the court in which the action is brought, at any time, upon such terms as may be just.
