§ 58-428. Confirmation of sale - Resale, when.

If it appear to the court that the sale was legally made and fairly conducted, and that the sum bid was not disproportionate to the value of the property sold, and that a greater sum, as above specified, cannot be obtained, or if the increased bid mentioned in the second preceding section be made and accepted by the court, the court must make an order confirming the sale, and directing conveyances to be executed.  The sale from that time is confirmed and valid, and a certified copy of the order confirming it and directing conveyances to be executed must be recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county within which the land sold is situated.  If after the confirmation the purchaser neglects or refuses to comply with the terms of sale the court may, on motion of the executor or administrator, and after notice to the purchaser, order a resale to be made of the property.  If the amount realized on such resale does not cover the bid and the expenses of the previous sale, such purchaser is liable for the deficiency to the estate.
