3. Upon hearing the matter, and upon the adduction of satisfactory proof, the court may order the sale, mortgage or lease of such real property of the estate as the circumstances may require, and the same proceedings under this law shall thereafter be had in relation to the sale, mortgage or lease as if the same had been instituted on petition of the executor or administrator, or a creditor or other interested person.
