I had a client/insurer who wanted to pay a large first party property claim, but three siblings all claimed sole ownership of the property, so we didn't know who to pay (and didn't want to pay the wrong person). So I drafted an interpleader, sent the draft to all 3 alleged owners, and said figure this shit out on your own or we're depositing it all with the court. They worked it out.
