Sec. 45a-145. (Formerly Sec. 45-41). Enforcement of judgment on bond. (a)
Any representative of an estate or any person suing on his own behalf and that of all
others interested in the estate, who secures a judgment upon a probate bond, may file a
judgment lien in his own name as representative of the estate or as representing himself
and all other interested persons. He may, with the permission of the judge of the court
of probate in which the estate is in settlement, bring any proper action to enforce the
lien. He may, by order of the court of probate secured as provided in section 45a-162,
sell any such lien or any real property obtained by the enforcement of the lien or upon
execution and he may release the lien by a certificate of discharge.
(b) If any person bringing such an action on his own behalf and that of all others
interested in the estate dies or is guilty of a breach of duty, the court of probate in which
the estate is in settlement may appoint some other person in his stead. Such other person
shall, upon giving a bond as provided in section 45a-144, acceptable to the court, be
vested with the same rights and subject to the same duties as the person in whose stead
he is acting with reference to the action, the enforcement of any judgment recovered or
lien thereon and the discharge of any such lien.
