KRS 426.685: Provisions governing sales by court order of indivisible real property.

(1) Before ordering a sale of real property for the payment of debt, the court must be

satisfied by the pleadings, by an agreement of the parties, by affidavits filed, or by a

report of a commissioner or commissioners, whether or not the property can be

divided without materially impairing its value, and may cause it to be divided, with

suitable avenues, streets, lanes or alleys, or without any of them.

(2) If it be necessary to sell, for the payment of debt, a parcel of real property which can

not be divided without materially impairing its value, the officer shall sell the whole

of it, though it bring more than the sum to be raised, and the court shall make proper

orders for the distribution of the proceeds.
