Sec. 45a-93. (Formerly Sec. 45-25a). Payments to probate judges who leave
office. If a judge of probate leaves office or dies while in office, the successor to such
judge in said office, shall pay to such judge or the personal representative of a deceased
judge, a sum representing the accounts receivable for payments due the court in accordance with section 45a-105, as of the date of separation from said office or the date of
death in the case of a judge who dies while holding such office. Determination of the
basis for such accounts receivable including computation for work in process shall be
made in accordance with regulations issued by the Probate Court Administrator. Any
payments made to such judge or the personal representative of a deceased judge shall
be subject to the provisions of section 45a-92, and no such payments shall be made
unless and until the accounts receivable are collected by the successor judge and no
such payments shall be made except within the time for filing a statement signed under
penalty of false statement showing the actual gross receipts of the itemized costs of the
office in accordance with said section 45a-92. There may be deducted from any such
amounts by a successor judge the cost of collection thereof, and any expenses directly
attributable to the outgoing judge's or deceased judge's term of office paid by the successor judge. In no event shall any such payments exceed the maximums allowable under
the provisions of said section 45a-92 in any one calendar year, and in the aggregate in
no event shall the total payments payable under this section exceed one hundred per
cent of the average final compensation for such judge as defined in subdivision (1) of
section 45a-34, except that such allowable maximum payment shall not include any
amounts of money due and payable to the judge at the time of separation from the court
or at the time of such judge's death for amounts advanced by such judge to the court
for operating expenses and not previously repaid, which amounts may be paid to such
judge or personal representative upon receipt of satisfactory proof of the existence of
balances due.
