Full Text of Rule 3132
Plain-English Summary
An execution sale is not final the instant the gavel falls. This rule gives a window to challenge it.
A party in interest may petition to set the sale aside before the personal property is delivered, or before the sheriff’s deed to real property is delivered. On proper cause shown, the court may set the sale aside and order a resale, or enter any other order that is just and proper under the circumstances.
