(1)Before ordering a sale of real property for the payment of debt, the court must be
satisfied by the pleadings, by an agreement of the parties, by affidavits filed, or by a
report of a commissioner or commissioners, whether or not the property can be
divided without materially impairing its value, and may cause it to be divided, with
suitable avenues, streets, lanes or alleys, or without any of them.
(2)If it be necessary to sell, for the payment of debt, a parcel of real property which can
not be divided without materially impairing its value, the officer shall sell the whole
of it, though it bring more than the sum to be raised, and the court shall make proper
orders for the distribution of the proceeds.
