When an infant is:
(1) entitled to real or personal estate in the District of Columbia bound by executory contract entered into by the person from whom the infant derived title; or
(2) claims a right or interest in property under such a contract—
the court may decree the execution of the contract or enter a just and proper decree, as if the parties were of full age.
