§ 35-22-21 — Deed - Issuance - Effect

If the mortgaged premises are not redeemed, it is the duty of the officer who sold the same,
or that person's successor in office, or some other person appointed by the district court for that
purpose, to complete the sale by executing a deed of the premises sold to the original
purchaser, the original purchaser's heirs or assigns, or to any person who may have acquired
the title and interest of the purchaser by redemption or otherwise. The deed has the same force
and effect as if it had been executed pursuant to a sale under a foreclosure of the mortgage by
an action in which all persons having an interest in or lien upon the property subsequent to the
mortgage were made parties and duly served with process.
