        (a)  When prohibited.--No execution shall issue against, nor
     shall any levy be made upon, any real or personal property of
     the estate of a decedent by virtue of a judgment against him or
     his personal representative unless:
            (1)  agreed to by the personal representative in a
        writing filed in the action or proceeding; or
            (2)  approved by the orphans' court division of the
        county in which letters testamentary or of administration
        have been granted, or if none have been granted, then by the
        orphans' court division of the county in which the principal
        or family residence of the decedent was located. The court
