§ 961. Disposition of proceeds of sale. The proceeds of a sale, after deducting the costs and expenses chargeable against them shall be immediately awarded as directed by the final judgment, to the parties whose rights and interests have been sold, in proportion thereto. The sum chargeable upon any share to satisfy a lien thereon shall be paid to the creditor, or retained, subject to the order of the court; and the remainder except as otherwise prescribed in this article, shall be paid by the officer making the sale, to the party owning the share or his legal representatives or into court for his use. The proceedings to ascertain and settle the liens upon an undivided share shall not affect any other party to the action or delay the paying over or investing of money to or for the benefit of any other party upon whose share or interest in the property there does not appear to be any existing lien.
