§58-391.2.
   
   Notice of the sale of personal property at private sale 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 shall set a date on or after which
   the sale will be made and the place where offers or bids will be
   received. The executor or administrator after making a sale of
   personal property at private sale 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, 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.
