Application by trustee for court authorization to mortgage, to lease, to sell, to acquire or to exchange real property or for confirmation of a lease of real property. 1.

An application for an order authorizing a trustee to acquire land adjacent to real property in which the trustee has an interest, or as to which he has a power of sale, may also be made when such real property and the adjacent land to be acquired have the same building or physically connected buildings thereon.
