Sec. 1. Whenever any lands are ordered by any court to be sold, on the application of any guardian, executor or administrator, the court ordering such sale may, in their discretion, authorize such guardian, executor or administrator, previous to such sale, to lay out such lands, or a portion thereof, in town lots, and to make the necessary dedication to public use of streets, alleys and squares therein; but before any sale of such lots shall take place, and before a plat of such lots, streets, alleys and squares shall be recorded in the recorder's office─the same, with a plat thereof, shall be reported to such court for approval or rejection. If confirmed by the court, such plat shall be recorded as other plats of like nature are recorded, and shall have the same validity in law as if made by a legal proprietor of such lands who is eighteen (18) years of age or over.
