When the will of a deceased registered owner of real property, or any right or interest therein, empowers the executor to sell, encumber or otherwise deal with such property, right, or interest, such executor need not be registered as the owner thereof; but any person who acquires title by virtue of the execution of such power may have such title registered, by application to and order of the probate court or the court of common pleas made after notice to all persons in interest to be given by the clerk of said court by registered mail or otherwise as the court directs.
