If any judge of probate declines to act or is disqualified from acting as judge of probate, or is absent or unable to discharge his duties, or if the office of judge of probate in any district becomes vacant, the Probate Court Administrator shall cite any judge of probate to act as judge of probate in the district to which he has been cited during such inability, absence or vacancy or in the matters in which the judge declines to act or is disqualified.
(1949 Rev., S. 6818; 1967, P.A. 558, S. 15; 1969, P.A. 323, S. 2; P.A. 80-476, S. 14.)
History: 1967 act made provisions applicable to suspensions of judges and required that probate court administrator, rather than clerk of probate court or judge of superior or common pleas court, cite judge to act as substitute; 1969 act deleted references to suspensions and added references to judges' absence; P.A. 80-476 reworded provisions but made no substantive change; Sec. 45-10 transferred to Sec. 45a-120 in 1991.

Judge may cite, instead of clerk. 59 C. 354. Cited. 134 C. 606. Former provisions for suspension of judge of probate by Chief Court Administrator unconstitutional. 157 C. 150.
