§ 2-2-106 — Powers and duties of court commissioners; generally

The court commissioner of each district court shall, upon a
general order made for that purpose, examine the bonds filed by
the personal representatives, with a view to ascertaining their
sufficiency, and may approve the same. He may examine any
inventory, sale bill, account current, except final accounts and
vouchers filed therewith, or examine into the condition of an
estate generally. Upon a specific order of the court, the
commissioner may make orders for the sale of personal property
at public or private auction, for the compounding of debts, for
the settlement of an estate as insolvent, for the approval of
bonds and all other orders of an ex parte nature as may
facilitate the settlement of estates. The orders shall be in
writing, signed by the judge or commissioner issuing the same,
and shall be filed and recorded.
