Section 10315 Of Article 6. Sale Of Real Property From California Probate Code >> Division 7. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 18. >> Article 6.
10315
. (a) If a sale is made on credit, the personal representative
shall take the note of the purchaser for the unpaid portion of the
purchase money, with a mortgage or deed of trust on the property to
secure payment of the note. The mortgage or deed of trust shall be
subject only to encumbrances existing at the date of sale and such
other encumbrances as the court may approve.
(b) Where property sold by the personal representative for part
cash and part deferred payments consists of an undivided interest in
real property or any other interest therein less than the entire
ownership and the owner or owners of the remaining interests therein
join in the sale, the note and deed of trust or mortgage may be made
to the personal representative and such others having an interest in
the property. The interest of the personal representative in the note
and deed of trust or mortgage shall be in the same interest and in
the same proportions as the estate's interest in the property prior
to the sale.
