Sec. 45a-410. (Formerly Sec. 45-219). Claims not exhibited are barred. Newly
discovered assets. Each creditor of an insolvent estate who does not exhibit his claim
to the commissioners within the time limited shall be barred of his claim against the
estate unless he can show some property not included in the inventory or accounted for
by the fiduciary or trustee, in which case he shall notify the fiduciary or trustee, who
shall make an additional inventory of such newly discovered property. In such case the
Court of Probate shall examine his claim and allow what appears to be due him. After
deducting the additional charges, the court shall order so much of the proceeds of such
discovered property to be paid to such creditor as will make him equal to the other
creditors, if it is sufficient; if not sufficient, the whole shall be paid to him, but, if more
than sufficient, the surplus shall be divided ratably between him and the other creditors.
(1949 Rev., S. 7004; P.A. 80-476, S. 283.)
History: P.A. 80-476 rephrased provisions and substituted "property" for "estate" and "fiduciary" for references to
executor or administrator; Sec. 45-219 transferred to Sec. 45a-410 in 1991.
