This is an appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court in Fairfield County which dismissed an appeal from a decree of the Probate Court for the district of Norwalk which extended the time for the presentation of claims against the estate of Ella Palmer, deceased. The Probate Court had limited the time for the presentation of claims against the estate to three months from September
Section 45-205 of the General Statutes authorizes a Probate Court to require the presentation of claims within three to twelve months from the date of the order and further provides that the court may “for cause shown” limit a further time for the presentation of claims and may “if any creditor, through no default of his own, has failed to present his claim within the time limited, for cause shown upon hearing after public notice, extend the time for such creditor to present his claim not more than thirty days beyond the period which it might have originally limited.”
On appeal to the Superior Court, that court concluded that the Probate Court had not abused the discretion vested in it by §45-205 of the General Statutes and dismissed the appeal. We find no error in that decision and judgment.
There is no error.
