[WSBAPT] appraisal required?

[Roger Hawkes]

RCW 11.56.010  appears to require that real estate within a probate can only be sold by court order.  The common practice is for non intervention PRs to sell without advance approval.  Is there a specific section that authorizes that in NI probates?  Do all real estate sales require a formal appraisal? Unless a court says not required?
"The court may order real or personal property sold, leased or mortgaged for the purposes hereinafter mentioned but no sale, lease or mortgage of any property of an estate shall be made except under an order of the court, unless otherwise provided by law."
