The award or verdict, as the case may be, shall have respect either to the entire and unencumbered fee or to any separate claim against or interest in the property, as the court may order. The award or verdict may be molded under the direction of the court so as to do complete justice and avoid confusion of interests. It shall be within the power of the court, upon payment of the award or verdict into the registry of the court, to adjudge a condemnation of the title to the property or interest therein and give such direction as to the disposition of the fund as shall be proper, according to the rights of the several respondents, and to cause such pleadings to be filed and such issues to be made as shall be appropriate for an ascertainment and determination of such rights.
