Whenever the cultivation and repairs of the real estate shall require extraordinary disbursements an order of the court shall first be obtained, after written notice shall have been given to the acknowledged heirs or to their representatives. For the purpose of procuring such order a petition shall be filed under oath with the court, containing the necessary information concerning the necessity for making such repairs or cultivation and the amount of the estimated cost. Such petition may be made either by the administrator or by any heir acknowledged as such.
