of sale - Return of proceedings - Hearing.

Notice of the sale of personal property at public auction shall

be published one time at least ten (10) days prior to said sale, and

a copy of the notice of said sale shall be mailed to all heirs,

legatees and devisees whose addresses are known at least ten (10)

days prior to said sale. Said notice shall contain a brief

description of the personal property to be sold and the time and

place of the sale. Public auction of such personal property shall

be made either at the courthouse door, at the site of the personal

property, at the residence of the decedent, or at some other public

place, but no sale shall be made of any personal property which is

not present at the time of the sale unless the court otherwise

orders. The executor or administrator, after making a sale of

personal property at public auction shall, except as provided in

Section 387 of this title, file a sworn return of his proceedings in

the court. The court shall fix the date for hearing such return and

notice of said hearing shall be published one time at least ten (10)

days prior to said hearing in the newspaper in the county and a copy

of said notice shall be mailed to all heirs, legatees and devisees

of the decedent whose addresses are known at least ten (10) days

prior to said hearing. Said notice shall briefly describe the

property sold, the sum for which it was sold, the name of the

purchaser and shall refer to the return for further particulars.

Upon hearing, the court shall examine the return and witnesses in

relation to the same and on proper showing the court shall approve

the sale. If such sale proceedings were unfair, or the sum bid

disproportionate to the value of said personal property, the court

shall vacate the sale and direct another to be had for which public

notice must be given and the sale in all respects conducted as if no

previous sale had taken place.
