Every judgment that contains a direction for the sale of specific real property also may direct the delivery of the possession of the property to the purchaser, and the officer receiving the execution or order of sale may enforce the judgment by putting the purchaser in possession of the premises as if special execution had been directed to the purchaser for that purpose. The judgment creditor must show that the debtor has an interest in the real property that is the subject of the judgment.
