other proof that | 24 | | notice has been served in compliance with this Section.

|
| 1 | | again give notice in accordance
with that Section of any | 2 | | adjourned sale; provided, however, that if the

notice of any adjourned sale need not be given | 5 | | pursuant to this
Section. In the event of adjournment, the
| 6 | | person conducting the sale shall, upon adjournment, | 7 | | announce the date, time
and place upon which the adjourned | 8 | | sale shall be held. Notwithstanding any
language to the | 9 | | contrary, for any adjourned sale that is to be conducted
| 10 | | more than 60 days after the date on which it was to first | 11 | | be held, the
party giving notice of such sale shall again | 12 | | give notice in accordance with
this Section.
| 13 | | (5) Notice of the sale may be given prior to the | 14 | | expiration of any
reinstatement period or redemption | 15 | | period.
| 16 | | (6) No other notice by publication or posting shall be | 17 | | necessary unless
required by order or rule of the court.
| 18 | | (7) The person named in the notice of sale to be | 19 | | contacted for
information about the real estate may, but | 20 | | shall not be required, to
provide additional information | 21 | | other than that set forth in the notice of sale.
| 22 | | (d) Election of Property. If the real estate which is the | 23 | | subject of a
judgment of foreclosure is susceptible of | 24 | | division, the court may order it to be sold
as necessary to | 25 | | satisfy the judgment. The court shall determine which real
| 26 | | estate shall be sold, and the court may determine the order in |
| | | SB0111 | - 6 - | LRB097 00077 AJO 40085 b |
|
| 1 | | which
separate tracts may be sold.
| 2 | | (e) Receipt upon Sale.
Upon and at the sale
of mortgaged | 3 | | real estate, the person conducting the sale shall give to
the | 4 | | purchaser a receipt of sale. The receipt shall describe the | 5 | | real
estate purchased and shall show the amount bid, the amount | 6 | | paid, the
total amount paid to
date and the amount still to be | 7 | | paid therefor. An
additional receipt shall be given at the time | 8 | | of each subsequent
payment.
| 9 | | (f) Certificate of Sale. Upon
payment in full of the amount | 10 | | bid, the person conducting
the sale shall issue, in duplicate, | 11 | | and give to the purchaser a Certificate
of Sale. The | 12 | | Certificate of Sale shall be in a recordable form, describe
the | 13 | | real estate purchased, indicate the date and place of sale and | 14 | | show the

be recorded in accordance | 17 | | with Section 12-121. The Certificate of Sale
shall be freely | 18 | | assignable by endorsement thereon.
| 19 | | (g) Interest after Sale. Any bid at sale shall be deemed to | 20 | | include,
without the necessity of a court order, interest at | 21 | | the statutory judgment
rate on any unpaid portion of the sale | 22 | | price from the date of sale to the
date of payment.
