Sec. 13. (a) A part of the property assigned on which there are liens or encumbrances may be sold by the trustee subject to the liens or encumbrances.

(b) However, if the trustee is satisfied that the general fund would be materially increased by the payment of the liens or encumbrances, the trustee shall make application, by petition, to the judge of the circuit court, superior court, or probate court for an order to pay the liens and encumbrances before selling the property. Before the holder of any lien or encumbrance is entitled to receive any part of the holder's debt from the general fund, the holder shall proceed to enforce the payment of the debt by sale, or otherwise, of the property on which the lien or encumbrance exists. For the residue of the claim, the holder of the lien or encumbrance shall share pro rata with the other creditors, if entitled to do so under Indiana law.
