A personal representative, before giving assent or making a conveyance in favor of any person entitled, may permit that person to take possession of the land, and such possession shall not prejudicially affect the right of the personal representative to take or resume possession nor his power to convey the land as if he were in possession thereof, but subject to the interest of any lessee, tenant or occupier in possession or actual occupation of the land.
Any person who as against the personal representative claims possession of the real estate, or the appointment of a receiver thereof, or a conveyance thereof, or an assent to the vesting thereof, or to be registered as proprietor thereof under the land registration laws, may apply to the court for directions with reference thereto and the court may make such vesting or other order as may be deemed proper.
