After retaining from the proceeds of sale the amount of all charges due and owing at the time of the sale, and the reasonable expenses of the sale, the bank shall pay the balance, if any, upon proper showing to the persons entitled to the balance. The bank may fairly and in good faith purchase all or any part of the property at the sale.
