426.210. Defendant may designate tract or part of tract to be sold -- Duty of officer - - Title papers

(1) If the defendant in execution has an interest as provided in KRS 426.190 in several tracts of land in the same county, he or his agent or attorney may, by writing, direct an officer having an execution against him to make the amount of the execution first out of such of the tracts as he may designate. This direction shall not preclude the officer from levying on and selling other property at the same time to supply any deficiency. Proper title papers shall be delivered to the officer with the directions.

(2) If the whole tract is bid up to the amount required to be made on the execution, the defendant or his agent or attorney if present may designate what side or end of the land shall be sold. If no designation is made, the officer must declare which side or end he will sell, according to what he deems best for the interest of the defendant.
