§ 15-103. Assignments for the benefit of creditors.
 

(a)  Bond of assignee.- Title to property may not pass to an assignee for the benefit of creditors until the assignee files a bond as required by the Maryland Rules. If the assignee makes a sale before filing a bond, the sale is not valid and does not pass title to the property sold. 

(b)  Prior conveyance made under bond with only one surety valid.- If all other legal requirements were met, a conveyance made by an assignee for the benefit of creditors when two sureties on the bond were required is valid even though a bond was given with only one surety. 

(c)  Ratification of sale by court.- A sale by an assignee for the benefit of creditors is not valid unless ratified by the court.
