Conflicting titles; process and notice
Sec. 12. Upon any petition to sell or mortgage real property the
court shall have power to investigate and determine all questions of
conflicting and controverted title, remove clouds from any title or
interest involved, and invest purchasers or mortgagees with a good
and indefeasible title to the property sold or mortgaged. When the
petition to sell or mortgage seeks such relief notice shall be given as
in civil actions of like nature and the court is authorized to issue
appropriate process and notices in order to obtain jurisdiction to so
proceed against adverse parties.
