§ 188. RIGHTS OF THIRD PERSONS DEALING WITH EXECUTORS OR 
ADMINISTRATORS.  When an executor or administrator, legally 
qualified as such, has performed any acts as such executor or 
administrator in conformity with his authority and the law, such 
acts shall continue to be valid to all intents and purposes, so far 
as regards the rights of innocent purchasers of any of the property 
of the estate from such executor or administrator, for a valuable 
consideration, in good faith, and without notice of any illegality 
in the title to the same, notwithstanding such acts or the authority 
under which they were performed may afterward be set aside, 
annulled, and declared invalid.
