Statute 148 140

The purchase money, or so much thereof as is sufficient to pay the mortgage or other lien, with interest, and any lawful costs and charges thereon, may be paid to the clerk if the mortgagee or other lienholder cannot be found, whereupon the mortgage or other lien upon the property ceases, and the purchase money must be paid over by the clerk without delay, in payment of the expenses of sale, and in satisfaction of the obligation secured by the mortgage or other lien, and the surplus, if any, at once returned to the personal representative unless, for good cause shown, after notice to the personal representative, the court otherwise directs.
