When real property to be sold, or which has been contracted to be sold by an assignor prior to the assignment for the benefit of creditors, is encumbered with liens, or when questions in regard to the title, or the dower estate of the wife or widow of the assignor, require a decree to settle them, the assignee may commence a civil action therefor in the court of common pleas or probate court of the proper county, making all persons in interest, including the wife or widow of the assignor, parties.
Upon hearing, the court shall order a sale of the premises, or the completion of such contracts of sale, the payment of encumbrances and the contingent dower interest of the wife or widow, subject to section 1313.35 of the Revised Code, and determine the questions involved as to title to the property.
