COMMENT: Section 2343 brings together all necessary procedural requirements for sales of estate real property. The only major changes from prior law are: the shortening of the time in which a private sale must be made, from one year to six months (subsection (c);) and the addition of a publication requirement for postponement of private sales (subsection (d).)
