2113.48 Action to complete contract to sell land.

When a person who has entered into a written contract for the sale and conveyance of an interest in real estate dies before its completion, his executor or administrator when not required to otherwise dispose of such contract, may, with the consent of the purchaser, obtain authority to complete such contract by filing an application therefor in the probate court of the county in which he was appointed. Notice of the time of hearing on such application shall be given to the surviving spouse and heirs, if the decedent died intestate, and to the surviving spouse, and devisees or legatees having an interest in such contract, if the decedent died testate. If the court is satisfied that it would be for the best interests of the estate, it may authorize the executor or administrator to complete said contract and to execute and deliver to the purchaser such instruments as are required to make the order of the court effective.
