(a) After making any sale, mortgage, exchange or lease of real property, the personal representative shall make a verified report thereof to the court. The court shall examine the report and if satisfied that the sale, mortgage, exchange or lease has been at a price and upon terms advantageous to the estate and in all respects made in conformity with law, and that it ought to be confirmed, shall confirm the sale, mortgage, exchange or lease and order the personal representative to deliver a deed, mortgage, lease or other proper instruments to the person entitled thereto.

(b) If the real property has been sold at private sale without an appraisal for purpose of sale, or if it has been appraised and has been sold at private sale for less than the appraised value, upon filing of the report the court may enter an order fixing a time and place for [a] hearing and a notice of the hearing shall be served upon all interested persons. Prior to the time fixed for the hearing, any person receiving notice may file written objections to the entry of an order approving the sale. If the court is not satisfied that the sale, mortgage, exchange or lease has been made in conformity with law and that it is in the best interests of the estate, it may reject the sale, mortgage, exchange or lease and enter an order it deems advisable.
