II.The amount of the appraisal shall serve as the basis for the auction; and
III.The auction shall be announced in the labor bulletin or on the notice boards of the Court, as the case may be, and in the municipal palace or in the government office designated by the Court, which may use some other means of publicity.
B.If the attached property is real property:

II.The attaching party shall present a certificate of encumbrances issued by the Public Registry of Property, covering 10 years prior to the date on which the auction was ordered.
