Section 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.
