Order for sale

§ 20–1102. Order for saleAn executor not so authorized by the will, or an administrator, may not sell property of his decedent without an order of the Probate Court. A sale made without a previous order authorizing it is void and does not pass title to the purchaser. If an executor or administrator sells, pledges, or disposes of property without a previous order, his letters may be revoked and an administrator appointed, who shall immediately recover possession of the property; and the removed executor or administrator may be proceeded against by attachment. Where there are two or more executors or administrators, and a sale, pledge, or disposition of property has been made without the consent of all, the revocation extends only to the persons so offending, and 79 Stat. 718the remaining executors or administrators may discharge the duties of their office and institute proceedings for the recovery of the property and attachment as provided by this section.
