When a court of probate orders any person to do any act, such person shall, upon compliance with the order, make written return to the court, which shall be prima facie evidence of the due execution of the order. The court may in its discretion require that such return be signed under penalty of false statement.
(1949 Rev., S. 6826; P.A. 77-12; P.A. 80-476, S. 63; P.A. 85-193, S. 1; P.A. 99-84, S. 15.)
History: P.A. 77-12 added exception re returns made by probate court employees; P.A. 80-476 rephrased provisions but made no substantive change; P.A. 85-193 provided that court may require return to be made under oath, deleting previous exception whereby probate court employees' returns were not required to be under oath; Sec. 45-19 transferred to Sec. 45a-130 in 1991; P.A. 99-84 deleted “made under oath” and inserted “signed under penalty of false statement”.
