§ 29-1-8-8 — Payment of claims; accounting; closing administration

Whenever, after the inventory has been filed by
a personal representative, it is established that the estate of a decedent,
exclusive allowance to the surviving spouse or dependent children,
does not exceed an amount sufficient to pay the claims of classes 1 to
6 inclusive, the personal representative upon order of the court shall
pay the same in the order provided and thereafter present his account
with an application for the settlement and allowance thereof.
Thereupon, the court, with or without notice, may adjust, correct, settle,
allow or disallow such account, and, if the account is settled and
allowed, decree final distribution, discharge the personal representative
and close the administration.
