§58-428.
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.
