Sec. 274.6  Proof of property interest.



    The burden of proof is on a claimant to establish that the asserted 

property interest in a seized conveyance existed on the date of seizure 

of that conveyance by submission of sufficient satisfactory original 

documentation or certified copies of the original documentation. If the 

claimant fails to present documentation showing compliance with required 

state formalities it will be presumed that a property interest in a 

seized conveyance did not exist on the date of seizure of that 

conveyance.
