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.
