When an execution is issued in the name or for the use of the State, the debtor's real estate may be taken thereby and sold
at auction, notice thereof being given as provided in section 2202, except that notice shall also be published in the state
paper, and the last publication in both papers shall be 6 days before the sale. The officer shall make and execute to the

Title 14: COURT PROCEDURE -- CIVIL Part 4: PROCEEDING AFTER VERDICT OR JUDGMENT Chapter 403: TITLE TO REAL ESTATE BY LEVY OF EXECUTION Subchapter 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS §1956. Deed given to assignee; right sold; remedy of purchaser
When, during the existence of an attachment, a deed has been given to an assignee, the right of the debtor should be sold
on the execution. When the right has been sold, and there has been no previous conveyance to the debtor, the purchaser has
the same remedies in his own name against the obligor or contractor as the debtor would have had, by an action to recover
damages for nonfulfillment, or to compel a specific performance, and when assignment before attachment is alleged, the assignee
may be made a party. Upon refusal of the obligor or contractor, on request of the purchaser, to give correct information of
the amount due or condition remaining to be performed, the purchaser may maintain his action without previous payment, performance
or tender. Upon a hearing, the court may grant and decree such relief, payment or performance, as is equitable.

When, by an error of the officer, the amount for which the levy was made exceeds the amount of debt or damage, costs, interest
and costs of levy, by a sum not greater than 1% thereof, it is valid if otherwise legally made. The debtor or owner of the
estate may maintain a civil action against such officer or his principal to recover all damages occasioned thereby, or a civil
action against the creditor to have such error corrected, and the court may correct it, in any just and equitable manner,
or it may decree a pecuniary compensation for the injury.

Real estate levied on may be redeemed within one year thereafter, by tendering to the creditor the amount of its appraisement
with interest from the time of levy, with reasonable expenses incurred for its improvement or repair, or in saving it from
loss by the nonpayment of taxes legally assessed thereon prior to the levy, after deducting rents and profits with which he
is chargeable. The creditor shall thereupon by his deed prepared at the expense of the debtor release to him all his title
to the premises. When the creditor resides out of the State, or his residence is unknown, such payment is sufficient if made
to the clerk of courts in the county where the real estate levied upon is situated, and such payment has the same effect as
if made to the creditor.
