651.14 Adjudication of liens on property subject to partition.
The court shall decide the nature, extent, priority, or validity of a party’s lien not previously determined and any other issues as the court directs. The referee appointed by the court shall provide notice of the court hearing to decide such matters to the interested parties. Adjudication of liens shall precede a partition in kind. A partition by sale and the distribution of proceeds from such sale to any party not affected by a lien may proceed prior to adjudication of liens on the property.
