35. On the death of the recorded owner of real estate, any person claiming as heir-at-law may apply to the judge for a fiat directing the officer to record the applicant; but no such person shall be recorded as owner until at least six calendar months from the date of such application shall have expired, and such notices of every such application shall be given, by advertisement and otherwise, as the judge may think necessary or proper: If there shall be any doubt, dispute, or litigation touching the ownership of the estate of a deceased owner, the Court may appoint a person to be recorded in his place as the representative of such estate, and shall give directions to such representative from time to time touching the management and letting of the estate; and all acts of such representative in pursuance of the directions of the Court shall be valid and binding on all parties interested in the estate.
