The Court of Chancery, instead of hearing in the first instance an application for a decree of distribution under this subchapter, may appoint a master to hear the same who shall thereafter proceed in accordance with this subchapter, and thereupon the master shall make a report to the Court recommending the decree to be entered in the proceeding. Such report shall be subject to exceptions by the personal representative of the estate or any person claiming to have an interest therein and such exceptions shall be heard by the Court and thereafter a decree shall be entered by the Court in the proceeding.
