§ 971. Security for refund. The court, in its discretion, may require
any person, before he receives his portion of the proceeds of the sale
to give such security as it directs, to the state, or the county
treasurer, who shall hold it for the use and benefit of the persons
interested, or to such parties or other persons as it prescribes, to
refund the same, or a portion thereof, with interest, if it thereafter
appears that he was not entitled thereto.
