§ 16-65-115 — Passage of title by decree

(a) In all cases where the court may decree the conveyance of real estate or the delivery of personal property, it may by decree pass the title of the property, without any act to be done on the part of the defendant, when it shall be proper, and may issue a writ of possession, if necessary, to put the party in possession of the real or personal property or may proceed by attachment or sequestration. (b) When an unconditional decree is made for a conveyance, release, or acquittance and the party required to execute the conveyance, release, or acquittance shall not comply therewith, the decree shall be considered and taken to have the same operation and effect and be as available as if the conveyance, release, or acquittance had been executed conformably to the decree. Rev. Stat., ch. 23, §§ 123, 124; C. & M. Dig., §§ 6297, 6298; Pope's Dig., §§ 8253, 8254; A.S.A. 1947, §§ 29-126, 29-127.
