§58-497.
The district court may authorize the executor or administrator of any
estate to enter into a written contract with any bona fide agent to
secure a purchaser for any real or personal property of the estate,
which contract shall provide for the payment to such agent, out of the
proceeds of a sale to any purchaser secured by him, of a commission,
the amount of which must be fixed and allowed by the court upon
confirmation of the sale; and when said sale is confirmed to such
purchaser, such contract shall be binding and valid as against the
estate for the amount so allowed by the court. By the execution of any
such contract no personal liability shall attach to the executor or
administrator, and no liability of any kind shall be incurred by the
estate unless an actual sale is made and confirmed by the court.
