1. If the spouse of any owner of a homestead is insane, and the owner desires to convey the homestead, or any interest therein, the owner may petition the district court in which the homestead is situated for license to convey the homestead. The court, upon reasonable and not less than 20 days' notice of the petition to the kindred of the insane spouse residing in this state (which notice may be personal or by publication in some newspaper in the county, or directed by the court), may hear and determine the petition, and may license the owner to convey the homestead, or any interest therein, by the sole deed of the owner. The license must be recorded in the office where the homestead is recorded, and thereafter the sole deed operates as if the spouse had been sane and joined in the deed.
2. On granting the license, the court may make such special order as to the investment or disposition of the funds derived from conveyance as it deems necessary to protect the interest of the insane spouse.
3. On the hearing of the petition for license, any of the kindred may appear and be heard in the premises, and may appeal from any order made on the subject in the same manner provided for other appeals from decrees of the district court.
