When real estate has been sold by a sheriff, executor, administrator, guardian, assignee,

receiver, trustee, master commissioner, special master, or other person appointed

or authorized by the court, and the record of the action in which such sale was made,

or the papers or accounts filed by an executor, or his successor, of a will authorizing

a sale of real estate, is lost or destroyed by fire, riot, or civil commotion, the

deed for such property made by such sheriff, executor, administrator, guardian, assignee,
