La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 2373 governs judicial-sale proceeds, including executory-process mortgage sales, paying costs, the seizing creditor and inferior interests before residue goes to the debtor. Articles 2631 et seq. govern executory process generally. Article 2373 sets no fixed debtor surplus deadline; request the sheriff's accounting and payment promptly. Louisiana generally has no statutory post-sale redemption for an ordinary mortgage executory-process sale, a separate property question.
