Any court of probate, after the removal of any fiduciary and the appointment of a successor fiduciary, may enforce the delivery to the successor fiduciary of any estate held by the former fiduciary by virtue of his original appointment in the same manner as a court of equity might do.

(1949 Rev., S. 7042; P.A. 80-476, S. 195.)

History: P.A. 80-476 rephrased provisions but made no substantive changes; Sec. 45-265 transferred to Sec. 45a-244 in 1991.

See Sec. 45a-199 for definition of “fiduciary”.
