§ 1742. Appraisal. When the court deems it necessary for the
protection of the interests of the infant, incompetent person or
conservatee, it may appoint a competent, disinterested person as
appraiser, who after taking an oath fairly to appraise the real
property, shall go upon the premises, and make an appraisal of the
property and report the result thereof to the court. The fee of the
appraiser shall be fixed by the court and be included in the costs of
the proceedings. A transcript of the proof and the report of the referee
or appraiser, if any, shall be filed with the final order.
