of registered land, after it has been set off, or sold on execution, or taken or sold for the
enforcement of any lien, including a tax lien, or charge of any nature, the person who claims
under such execution, or under any certificate, deed, or other instrument made in the course of

entry of a new certificate to that person, and upon such notice as the court may require, the
petition shall be heard and a proper order rendered therein.
Subd. 2. Examiner of titles directive. Any person holding title to registered land pursuant
