charge until such claim has been approved by the Court of Probate after public notice
and hearing, unless the court, for cause shown, dispenses with such notice and hearing.
If any such claim is wholly or partly secured, it may be paid at any time after such
approval to the extent of the value of the security as appraised pursuant to section 45a-341. Any unsecured claim and the unsecured portion of any such claim shall not be paid
until after such approval and until after the expiration of the time limited by the court
for the presentation of claims.
