Head Matter:
In re ESTATE OF George E. PENNELL, Deceased.
No. 87-1891.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 1, 1989.
Kenneth W. Lipman of Siegel & Lipman, and Alan C. Kauffman of DeSantis, Cook, Kauffman, Gaskill, McCarthy, Schwartz & Hunston, Boca Raton, for appellant, Jack Pennell.
Ann Marie Rezzonico and Mark Kleinfeld of Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, West Palm Beach, for appellee, Harry A. Johnston II, as Personal Representative of the Estate of George E. Pennell, deceased.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in authorizing the sale of property by the personal representative. The decedent's will expressly granted the representative authority to sell. See § 733.613(2), Fla.Stat. (1987). In addition, there is evidence in the record indicating that the representative acted in good faith and that the terms of the sale were reasonable, even in comparison to the offer alleged by the appellant to be higher in price. See Gilden v. Harris, 197 Md. 32, 78 A.2d 167 (1951).
HERSEY, C.J., and ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur.
