(a) Within ten (10) days after making any sale, mortgage, or lease of real property, the personal representative shall make a verified report to the court of his or her proceeding, with proof of publication or posting in case the sale is made at public auction. The report shall state that the personal representative did not directly or indirectly acquire any beneficial interest in the real property, or the lease thereof, or, if he or she acquired any such interest, specific facts showing that it was acquired in conformity with the provisions of the Probate Code. (b) An interested person may file written objections to the confirmation. (c) (1) (A) The court shall examine the report and, if satisfied that the sale, mortgage, or lease has been at a price and on terms advantageous to the estate and in all respects made in conformity with law, shall confirm the sale, mortgage, or lease and order the personal representative to execute and deliver to the person entitled a deed, mortgage, lease, or other appropriate instrument. (B) However, no report shall be confirmed within five (5) days after the filing unless all persons interested in the estate, either in person or by attorney or guardian, shall consent in writing to the confirmation. (2) The instrument shall refer to the order of sale, mortgage, or lease by its date and the court by which it was made, shall transfer to the grantee, mortgagee, or lessee all the right, title, and interest of the decedent granted by the instrument, and shall discharge from liability for all debts and obligations incident to the administration of the estate, except encumbrances assumed. (d) If satisfied that the sale, mortgage, or lease is not advantageous to the estate or has not been made in conformity with law, the court may reject the sale, mortgage, or lease or require a reexecution of the order upon such terms and conditions as it may direct. (e) However, when the order is for private sale, mortgage, or lease, the court may approve the report and confirm the sale immediately, either by endorsement upon the report of sale, mortgage, or lease or by separate order of confirmation. If approval and confirmation is by endorsement upon the report, the report, with endorsement, shall be recorded.
