If a qualified executor, administrator, or testamentary trustee is authorized by will or devise to sell any class of personal property or real property, no order shall be required from the probate court for the executor, administrator, or testamentary trustee to proceed with the sale. A power to sell authorizes a sale for any purpose considered by the executor, administrator, or testamentary trustee to be for the best interest of the estate, unless the power is expressly limited by the will or devise.
