Distribution of specific property

§ 20–1902. Distribution of specific propertyWhere the surplus remaining in an administrator’s hands after payment of all just debts exhibited and proved or notified and not barred, or after retaining for them, consists of specific property or articles mentioned in the inventory, the administrator, if he cannot satisfy the parties, may apply to the court to make distribution. The Probate Court may appoint a day for making distribution, and by summons call on the parties to appear, and, at the appointed time, proceed to distribute. If a majority in point of value neglect to appear, or, if appearing, object to the distribution of the articles, or if the court deems a sale of the articles or any part of them more advantageous, it shall order a sale accordingly, and the rules provided by this title relative to a sale by order of the court shall be observed.
