Article 2. Disposition of Estates Subject to Future Interests
§36-2-12. Disposition of Proceeds

The proceeds of sale, and the reversion subject to any such lease or mining lease, together with the proceeds, rents, and royalties accruing from any such lease or mining lease, shall, in all respects, be substituted for and stand in the place of the property sold or leased as regards the ownership and enjoyment thereof, and all persons shall have the same estates or interests, vested, contingent, or executory, in such proceeds of sale, or in the reversion subject to any such lease or mining lease, together with the proceeds, rents and royalties accruing from any such lease or mining lease, as they had or would have had in the property sold or leased. And the proceeds of sale shall be invested and the proceeds, rentals and royalties accruing from such lease or mining lease shall be invested or applied, and the principal and income of any such investment shall be applied under the direction of the court, for the use and benefit of the persons having any such estate or interest, vested, contingent or executory, in accordance with, and to the extent to which they are entitled by virtue of, their respective estates and interests, vested, contingent or executory. From any one in whose hands the proceeds of sale, or the proceeds, rents and royalties accruing from any such lease or mining lease shall be placed or come, the court shall take ample security, and from time to time require additional security, if necessary; and the court shall make all proper orders and decrees for the faithful application of the funds and for the management and preservation of any property or securities in which the same may be invested, for the protection of the rights of all persons having any estate or interest, whether vested, contingent or executory.
