Full Text of Section 815.43
Plain-English Summary
Section 815.43 closes out the redemption process set up in sections 815.38 through 815.40. Upon redemption of any real estate sold on execution, the sale of the premises redeemed, and the certificate of that sale, become null and void so far as they relate to the redeemed premises.
The effect is limited to the property redeemed. Where only a lot, tract, or portion of a larger sale is redeemed, the sale and certificate lose effect only as to that redeemed piece, not as to any other property covered by the same sale that was not redeemed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the execution sale once the property is redeemed?
The sale of the redeemed premises becomes null and void.
Does the certificate of sale still have any effect after redemption?
No. It too becomes null and void, so far as it relates to the redeemed premises.
Does redemption void the entire sale, even parcels the redeeming party didn’t redeem?
No. Section 815.43 voids the sale and certificate only so far as they relate to the premises redeemed.
Does the purchaser keep any interest in the property after redemption?
No. Because the sale itself becomes null and void as to the redeemed premises, the purchaser’s interest from that sale does not survive.
Which sections set up the redemption process this section refers to?
Sections 815.39 and 815.40, which fix the redemption period and identify who may redeem.
