If any master of the superior court or the sheriff or coroner of any county who has
made or shall make sale of any real estate by virtue of an execution against the same
shall abscond or depart from the state or be disqualified by law or shall die or have
died, or in any way become incapable of making a deed or conveyance for the same,

on proof of such payment and on tender of the residue if any there be, to execute
and deliver to such purchaser or his legal representative a deed of the real estate
