When authorized by the court, an administrator  to collect of the estate of a missing person may make disbursements  to or for the benefit of his spouse, his children, including  children by adoption, any person to whom he stood  in the acknowledged relation of a parent, any person related  to him by blood or marriage who is dependent upon or entitled  to support from him and anyone to whom the missing person is  indebted and may perform the contracts of the missing person  which were legally subsisting at the time of his disappearance  and execute and deliver a deed, bill of sale or other instrument.
