All money so required to be deposited shall be received by the county treasurer and paid upon the order of the court.

(b) When money is deposited in the county treasury under the provisions of this chapter, the person or persons entitled to the same may, at any time, apply to the court making the order of sale, and obtain an order for the same upon making satisfactory proof to the court of his or her right thereto.
