      Sec. 45a-403. (Formerly Sec. 45-212). Payment of claims of fiduciary. A fiduciary shall not pay any personal claim of his own against the decedent's estate in his 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.
