On the final settlement of an estate, the court may make such orders of distribution as may be necessary, and, on the confirmation of the same, may render a decree thereon, and the property must be delivered according to such decree; or, if there is money only to be divided, it may render a decree in favor of each distributee entitled to the same, for his distributive share, against the executor or administrator.
