Ala. Code § 35-6-118: Sale When Partition Impracticable.

If the commissioners find it impracticable to make division of the crops in specie, or that it is necessary to sell a portion thereof to make or equalize the division, they shall at once report that fact to the probate court, which shall thereupon order the crops to be sold for division, and shall issue a writ to the sheriff commanding him to make such sale; and such sale, and the distribution of the proceeds thereof, shall be made as provided in section 35-6-116.
