Order, terms and method of the sale
Official statutory text
The order of sale must describe the lands to be sold and the
terms of sale, which may be for cash or may be for one-fourth (1/4)
cash and the balance on a credit not exceeding two (2) years,
payable in gross or installments within that time, with interest, as
the court may direct. The land may be sold in one parcel or in
subdivisions, as the executor or administrator shall judge most
beneficial to the estate, unless the court otherwise specially
directs. If it appears that any part of such real estate has been
devised and not charged in such devise with the payment of debts or
legacies, the court must order the remainder to be sold before that
so devised. Every such sale must be ordered to be made at a public
auction, unless, in the opinion of the court, it would benefit the
estate to sell the whole or some part of such real estate at private
sale; the court may, if the same is asked for in the petition, order
or direct such real estate, or any part thereof, to be sold either
at public or private sale, as the executor or administrator shall
judge to be most beneficial to the estate. If the executor or
administrator neglects or refuses to make a sale under the order as
directed therein, he may be compelled to sell, by order of the
court, made on motion, after due notice, by any party interested.
