The probate court may, in the event no such claims are filed by any of such parties and where the probate court is doubtful as to a proper division, require the parties in interest to propound their claims and to hear evidence upon the same in order that the probate court may determine to what part or proportion of said award each of said parties may be rightly entitled. No division or partition for distribution shall be made by the probate court under this section when any adverse claim or title is asserted by any one of the interested parties, which involves the determination of the title to land, and the procedure for partition or distribution under this section shall follow as near as may be the manner provided for the partition of property in chapter 6 of Title 35; except, that no parties in interest shall be added over the objection of any party to those made defendants in the application to condemn, and the hearing shall be confined to such parties so named or added without objection; and when any claim is denied by any party in interest, which involves the determination of the title to land, the probate court shall transmit to the circuit court the said claims and denials filed in the probate court and also the amount of the commissioners' award, less the proper court costs arising from the filing of such claims and denials; and the circuit court shall proceed to determine the matter as provided by law.
