(765 ILCS 210/1) (from Ch. 109, par. 11)
Sec. 1.
In any proceeding in any court in this state, by executors or
administrators, for the sale of lands of deceased persons, or by guardians,
for the sale of lands of their wards, or for partition of lands, when such
lands are to be sold in parcels, or actual partition thereof shall be made,
it shall be competent for the court to order such executor or
administrator, guardian, or other officer or person authorized to sell the
lands in question in any such proceeding, or commissioners authorized to
make partition of such lands, to cause such lands to be surveyed and
subdivided, and a map or plat of the same to be made, showing the lots or
parcels of such subdivisions or partition designated by numbers; which map
or plat shall be acknowledged by the person or persons so causing the same
to be made, in like manner as is now required by law in cases of plats or
maps made for owners of land, and shall, in like manner, be certified by
the Registered Land Surveyor making the same; and the certificate shall
contain, among other things, an accurate and definite description of the
lands so subdivided or partitioned. Such map or plat shall be submitted to
the court for its approval and, if approved by the court, shall be recorded
in the recorder's office of the county or counties in which the lands in
question in any such proceeding are situated.
