Title 45a Probate Courts and Procedure
Chapter 802b Decedents' Estates
Sec. 45a-404. (Formerly Sec. 45-226). Any estate may be settled as insolvent.

      Sec. 45a-404. (Formerly Sec. 45-226). Any estate may be settled as insolvent. The estate of any deceased person may be settled as an insolvent estate if the Court of Probate deems it expedient.

      (1949 Rev., S. 7011; P.A. 80-476, S. 277.)

      History: P.A. 80-476 deleted provision which specified that when settlement of solvent estate has been commenced as insolvent estate, persons with claims subsequently accruing which have not been exhibited to commissioners within time prescribed for such exhibition "shall be the same in respect to any estate ... remaining after the payment of claims allowed by them as they would have been ... if such estate had always been treated as a solvent estate", but see Sec. 45-227(c); Sec. 45-226 transferred to Sec. 45a-404 in 1991.
