§ 8.01-509.Order for sale and application of debtor's estate.

After the discovery, examination, and delivery machinery in §§ 8.01-506 and 8.01-507 turns up property and hands it over, someone has to decide what happens to it. Section 8.01-509 puts that decision in the judgment court’s hands.

Once the commissioner’s report comes back, the court has broad discretion — any order it deems right — for selling the conveyed and delivered estate and applying the results to the debt. The statute does not lock the court into one procedure; it leaves room to fit the order to whatever the property is, whether real estate, securities, or something less conventional.

In practice, courts often route the mechanics of an actual sale through § 8.01-510, which spells out how officers handle the sale and disposition once the court’s order authorizes it.
