(a) As soon as practicable after the expiration of the one-hundred-fifty-day period for presentation of claims, the fiduciary shall file a report in the Court of Probate (1) listing all claims presented; (2) specifying with respect to each claim whether such claim was allowed or rejected, in whole or in part; and (3) listing the names and addresses of all creditors given notice in accordance with section 45a-378.
