An attaching or judgment creditor of a vendee in a sale, contract or lease wherein the transfer of title or ownership of personal property is contingent upon any condition, has a lien upon the personal property to the extent of the interest of the vendee therein. For the purposes of W.S. 1-17-417 and 1-17-418, the interest of the vendee is the amount which the personal property will bring at any judicial sale, over and above any sums then unpaid to the vendor in the sale, contract or lease.

When any personal property is attached or levied upon under execution, the judgment creditor shall pay the amount then due the vendor or the assignee of vendor under the sale, contract or lease, and proceed to sell the personal property the same as if title and ownership were in the vendee. If the judgment creditor elects to pay the vendor or assignee of vendor, the bill of sale of the sheriff or person selling under execution shall convey to the purchaser at the execution sale all of the right, title and interest of the vendor to the personal property.
