“"The order authorizing the settlement of the cause of action in question was made pursuant to the provisions of Section 4006, Revised Code of 1928, which permits the administrator or executor of an estate, with the approval of the court, to compromise a claim by or against the estate when it appears to be just and to the best interests of an estate to do so."
