Distribution
Official statutory text
Upon the final settlement of the accounts of the executor or
administrator, or at any subsequent time, upon the application of
the executor or administrator, or of any heir, legatee, or devisee,
the court must proceed to distribute the residue of the estate in
the hands of the executor or administrator, if any, among the
persons who by law are entitled thereto, and if the decedent has
left a surviving child, and the issue of other children, and any of
them, before the close of administration, have died while under age
and not having been married, no administration on such deceased
child's estate is necessary, but all the estate which such deceased
child was entitled to by inheritance, must, without administration,
be distributed in accordance with the laws of descent and
distribution of this state. A statement of any receipts and
disbursements of the executor or administrator, since the rendition
of his final accounts, must be reported and filed at the time of
making such distribution, and a settlement thereof, together with an
estimate of the expenses of closing the estate, must be made by the
court and included in the order or decree, or the court or judge may
order notice of the settlement of such supplementary account, and
refer the same as in other cases of settlement of accounts.
