Return of sale - Hearing
Official statutory text
Except when a sale is made pursuant to Section 239 of this
title, the executor or administrator, after making any sale of real
property, must file a sworn return of his proceedings in the court.
The court must fix the day for the hearing of such return, and give
at least ten (10) days' notice thereof by one publication in a
newspaper in each county in which any part of the real property
sold is situated and in the county where the order was made, and by
mailing a copy of said notice to all heirs, legatees and devisees of
the decedent whose addresses are known, which notice must briefly
describe the real property sold, the sum for which it was sold and
the name of the purchaser, and must refer to the return for further
particulars. Upon the hearing, the court must examine the return
and witnesses in relation to the same, and if the proceedings were
unfair, or the sum bid disproportionate to the value, and if it
appears that a sum exceeding such bid at least ten percent (10%),
exclusive of the expenses of a new sale, may be obtained, the court
may vacate the sale and direct another to be had, of which notice
must be given, and the sale in all respects conducted as if no
previous sale had taken place; if an offer of ten percent (10%) more
in amount than that named in the return be made to the court in
writing, by a responsible person, it is in the discretion of the
court to accept such offer and confirm the sale to such person or to
order a new sale.
