§501-173 Purchaser acquiring title through personal representative may have the same registered. If any personal representative is authorized by the terms of any will to grant, bargain, sell, convey, mortgage, or otherwise deal with registered land, the personal representative may do so in the same manner as if the land were registered in the representative's name as personal representative. Before any instrument executed by the personal representative, pursuant to such authority, is filed or recorded with the assistant registrar of the land court, there shall be first filed or recorded with the assistant registrar a certified copy of the will together with a certified copy of the order of the circuit court admitting the same to probate or a certified copy of the written statement of the registrar of the circuit court admitting it to informal probate, and a certified copy of the letters, on which shall be listed all orders of the circuit court relating to the personal representative's authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, mortgage, lease, or otherwise deal with real property, and a certified copy of each such order. Any person who acquired title or any interest in registered land through or by virtue of the execution of the power vested in the personal representative may have the title or interest registered.
