When approved by the circuit court, a sale made pursuant to this section passes title to the lands, tenements, and hereditaments to the purchaser.
(2) The court shall make all proper orders and directions from time to time for the management, investment, and disposition of the moneys received from the sale, and the interest and income therefrom.
