• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 2: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
• Ch. 18: Platting of Certain Property

Text

Whenever any lands are ordered by any court
to be sold, on the application of any guardian, executor or
administrator, the court ordering such sale may, in their discretion,
authorize such guardian, executor or administrator, previous to such
sale, to lay out such lands, or a portion thereof, in town lots, and to
make the necessary dedication to public use of streets, alleys and
squares therein; but before any sale of such lots shall take place, and
before a plat of such lots, streets, alleys and squares shall be recorded
in the recorder's office─the same, with a plat thereof, shall be reported
to such court for approval or rejection. If confirmed by the court, such
plat shall be recorded as other plats of like nature are recorded, and
shall have the same validity in law as if made by a legal proprietor of
such lands who is eighteen (18) years of age or over.
