 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 18-11)Sec. 18-11.     Allowance and disallowance of claims by representative.     (a) The representative may at any time pay or consent in writing to all  or any part of any claim that is not barred under Section 18-12, if  and to the extent the claim has not been disallowed by the  court and the representative determines it to be valid.  Payment or consent  by the representative constitutes allowance of the claim and binds the estate.  When a claim filed with the court is allowed by the representative, the  representative must promptly file notice of the allowance with the court,  but failure to do so will not affect the allowance.  At the request of any  interested person the representative must establish the propriety of his  allowance of any claim.(b) The representative may at any time disallow all or any part of any  claim that has not been filed with the court by mailing or delivering a  notice of disallowance to the claimant, and to the claimant's attorney if  the attorney's name and address are known to the representative, stating  that if the claim is not filed with the court on or before the date stated  in the notice, which date shall be not less than 2 months from the date of  the notice, the claim will be barred.  A claim  disallowed by the representative under this subsection and not filed with  the court on or before the date stated in the notice shall be barred under  Section 18-12 in the same manner as a claim not timely filed.

 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 19-1)Sec. 19-1.         Lease, sale, mortgage or pledge of personal estate of decedent.)  (a)  By  leave of court, a representative may lease, sell, mortgage or pledge the  personal estate of the  decedent when it is necessary for the proper administration of the estate.  Personal  property selected by the surviving spouse or child or specifically bequeathed  or directed  by the testator not to be sold may not be sold, mortgaged or pledged unless  necessary for  the payment of claims, expenses of administration, estate or inheritance  taxes or the proper  administration of the estate.(b) If the sale of the personal estate is not necessary for the payment of claims or  expense of administration or the proper distribution of the estate, the  court may order the  personal estate to be distributed in kind.(c) The provisions of this Article for the lease, sale, mortgage or pledge of personal  estate do not apply to leases, sales, mortgages or pledges made without  order of court by a  representative under a power given in the will.  The lease, sale, mortgage  or pledge of any  personal estate by a representative under a power given in a will is valid  regardless of the  subsequent setting aside of the will or any other action which might limit  or restrain the  right of the representative to transfer title or to lease, sell, mortgage or pledge such  personal estate.  A lessee, purchaser, mortgagee or pledgee from a representative  under a  power in a will obtains the same title or interest as though the instrument  were executed by  the decedent immediately prior to his death and the rights and claims of  all parties claiming  under or through the decedent shall be transferred to the consideration  received or to be  received from the lease, sale, mortgage or pledge.
