§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.
