Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Whenever any creditor shall acquire the
title of the original purchaser, pursuant to s. 815.44, any other
creditor who might have acquired such title may become a purchaser thereof from the first creditor who acquired the same upon
the following conditions:
(1) By paying to such first creditor, the first creditor’s personal representatives or assigns the sum which the first creditor
paid to acquire such title, together with interest thereon from the
time of the first creditor’s payment.
(2) If the judgment or mortgage by virtue of which the first
creditor acquired the title of the original purchaser be prior to the
judgment or mortgage of such 2nd creditor and is still a lien as to
such 2nd creditor the 2nd creditor shall also pay to such first creditor the amount due on the first creditor’s judgment or mortgage.
(3) In the same manner any third or other creditor who might
have acquired the title of the original purchaser may become a
purchaser thereof from the second, third or other creditor who
may have become such purchaser from any other creditor, upon
the terms and conditions before specified in this section.
(4) If the original purchaser of any premises shall also be a
creditor of the defendant against whom the execution issued, and
as such might acquire the title of any purchaser according to the
preceding provisions, the original purchaser may avail himself or
herself of his or her judgment or mortgage, in the manner and on

the terms prescribed, to acquire the title which any creditor may
have obtained.
(5) But the judgment creditor, under whose execution the real
estate was sold cannot acquire the title of the original purchaser
or of any creditor to the premises so sold by virtue of the judgment on which such execution issued.
