The inventory of an executor or administrator, which is to be filed, shall be proved by his oath that the same is just and true, and by the oath of the appraisers, or 1 of them, that the personal property specified in the inventory was appraised at its just and true values according to their or his best judgment. If only 1 of the appraisers be sworn it shall be added that the other appraiser was present at the same time and consented to the valuation and appraisement. Such oaths shall be taken before any person qualified to administer oaths in this state and the same shall be indorsed on the inventory filed with the surrogate or clerk of the superior court, as the case may be.
If personal property of the decedent shall have been set off for the benefit of the family, the executor or administrator shall also verify by his oath the list of property selected therefor and file the same with the inventory.
