§501-173  Purchaser acquiring title through
personal representative may have the same registered.  If any personal
representative is authorized by the terms of any will to grant, bargain, sell,
convey, mortgage, or otherwise deal with registered land, the personal
representative may do so in the same manner as if the land were registered in
the representative's name as personal representative.  Before any instrument
executed by the personal representative, pursuant to such authority, is filed
or recorded with the assistant registrar of the land court, there shall be
first filed or recorded with the assistant registrar a certified copy of the
letters appointing the personal representative showing the powers of the
personal representative, or a certified copy of an order granting the petition
for authority, or a certified copy of an acknowledgment of authority, and
either a certified copy of the order of the circuit court confirming the sale
of the affected land or a certified copy of an affidavit filed in the circuit
court of the personal representative made at the time of the deed, mortgage,
lease, or other conveyance, attesting that the decedent's will does not require
confirmation of the transaction and that no devisee or heir has demanded the
confirmation.  Any person who acquired title or any interest in registered land
through or by virtue of the execution of the power vested in the personal
representative may have the title or interest registered. [L 1921, c 214, §2;
