Iowa Code § 651.21: Proceeds of property partitioned by sale.

2. The court shall appoint a trustee, or order other suitable provisions, for the proceeds of a share held for life or years in the remainder. The ascertained share of any absent owner shall be retained, or the proceeds invested for the owner’s benefit, under an order of the court.
