Said notice shall contain a brief description of the personal property to be sold and the time and place of the sale. Public auction of such personal property shall be made either at the courthouse door, at the site of the personal property, at the residence of the decedent, or at some other public place, but no sale shall be made of any personal property which is not present at the time of the sale unless the court otherwise orders. The executor or administrator, after making a sale of personal property at public auction shall, except as provided in Section 387 of this title, file a sworn return of his proceedings in the court. The court shall fix the date for hearing such return and notice of said hearing shall be published one time at least ten (10) days prior to said hearing in the newspaper in the county and a copy of said notice shall be mailed to all heirs, legatees and devisees of the decedent whose addresses are known at least ten (10) days prior to said hearing. Said notice shall briefly describe the property sold, the sum for which it was sold, the name of the purchaser and shall refer to the return for further particulars. Upon hearing, the court shall examine the return and witnesses in relation to the same and on proper showing the court shall approve the sale. If such sale proceedings were unfair, or the sum bid disproportionate to the value of said personal property, the court shall vacate the sale and direct another to be had for which public notice must be given and the sale in all respects conducted as if no previous sale had taken place.
