Such petition shall set forth a description of the estate to be mortgaged, the amount of money necessary to be raised and the purposes for which such money is required, and, if made to a probate court, shall be made in the county where trustees were appointed, if the trust was created by will, or, if it was not so created, in the county where the estate, or a part thereof, which is the subject of the petition is situated.
