Sec. 45a-383. (Formerly Sec. 45-230kk). Settlement of estate without claims
procedures. When it appears to the Court of Probate that the assets of the estate of any
deceased person in settlement before the court, exclusive of the articles which may be
legally set out to the surviving spouse and the allowance for support of such spouse and
that of the family of the deceased, will not be more than sufficient to pay the funeral
expenses, the expenses of settling the estate, the expenses of the last sickness and the
lawful taxes and claims due the state of Connecticut and the United States, the court
may, after notice and hearing, ascertain the amount of such funeral and other expenses
and of such taxes and preferred claims, and order that the settlement of the estate be
completed without following the procedures otherwise required by sections 45a-376 to
45a-382, inclusive.
