Whenever an application is made to the sheriff of any county for the sale of any real property, whether under execution or pursuant to any other writ, judgment or order, the sheriff shall not proceed with such sale unless and until the applicant shall furnish to the sheriff a statement, under oath, listing the names of all mortgagees and other holders of encumbrances and the current balance of all prior mortgages, liens or encumbrances constituting "consideration" as defined in section 1(c) of the act to which this act is a supplement (C.46:15-5(c)), to which such sale shall be subject. Upon the preparation of a deed for any real property sold as herein provided, the sheriff shall cause to be attached to such deed the statement of prior mortgages, liens or encumbrances furnished by the applicant.
