Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 P.S. Counties § 5612. Procedure; rights and liabilities where liens exist

When it appears that liens exist which are liens upon property sought to be condemned and appropriated, a report of the facts found shall be made to the court. Such report shall be subject to exceptions in manner to be regulated by the Supreme Court by general rule. When the court has finally determined the findings in relation to the laws, the court shall make an order directing the payment and distribution of the amount found to be payable as compensation to the parties entitled thereto, first to the owners of said liens, then to the owners of the property appropriated as aforesaid. The parties interested shall have the right of appeal from said order of distribution to the Superior and Supreme Courts. Payment in accordance with the order of distribution, evidenced by a receipt of record in the proceedings, shall absolutely discharge the party making the payment from all liens by any person, copartnership, association or corporation as against said property. In such receipt and on the record thereof, any claimant may reserve the right to proceed against any other property or assets of the owner of the property condemned for any balance due upon his lien.
