The answer shall admit or deny that the Garnishee is indebted to the Judgment Debtor or has possession of property of the Judgment Debtor and shall specify the amount and nature of any debt and describe any property. The Garnishee may assert any defense that the Garnishee may have to the garnishment, as well as any defense that the Judgment Debtor could assert. After answering, the Garnishee may pay any garnished indebtedness to the Court and may deliver to the sheriff any garnished property, which shall be treated as if levied upon by the sheriff. A Garnishee who has filed an answer admitting indebtedness to the Judgment Debtor or possession of property of the Judgment Debtor is not required to file an amended answer solely because of an increase in the Garnishee222s indebtedness to the Judgment Debtor or the Garnishee222s receipt of additional property of the Judgment Debtor. If the Garnishee fails to file a timely answer, the Judgment Creditor may proceed pursuant to Maryland Rule 3-509 for a judgment by default against the Garnishee. If a Garnishee files a timely answer, the matters set forth in the answer shall be treated as established for the purpose of the garnishment proceeding unless the Judgment Creditor files a reply contesting the answer within 30 days after its filing. If a timely reply is not filed, the Court may enter the judgment upon request of the Judgment Creditor, the Judge Debtor, or the Garnishee. If a timely reply is filed to the answer of the Garnishee, the matter shall proceed as if it were an original action between the Judgment Creditor as Plaintiff and the Garnishee as Defendant and shall be governed by the rules applicable to civil actions.
