Chapter 802b - Decedents’ Estates
Section 45a-417 - (Formerly Sec. 45-225). Commissioners disqualified; validity of acts.

(a) A commissioner shall not be disqualified by reason of any relationship by blood or marriage, or by the relation of landlord and tenant, between himself and any person interested in the estate, unless an objection is made on that account at the time of his appointment by some person claiming to be interested. The Court of Probate shall remove any commissioner so related to any person interested in the estate as to legally disqualify him, if any person claiming to be interested in the estate so requests at any time before the expiration of the time limited for the exhibition of claims, or, if he does not discover such relationship until after such time, then upon such request at any time before the acceptance of the commissioners’ report.

(b) The actions of commissioners who are disqualified shall be valid unless set aside for such cause by the Court of Probate before the acceptance of their report or on appeal.
