      Sec. 45a-93. (Formerly Sec. 45-25a). Payments to probate judges who leave office. If a judge of probate leaves office or dies while in office, the successor to such judge in said office, shall pay to such judge or the personal representative of a deceased judge, a sum representing the accounts receivable for payments due the court in accordance with section 45a-105, as of the date of separation from said office or the date of death in the case of a judge who dies while holding such office. Determination of the basis for such accounts receivable including computation for work in process shall be made in accordance with regulations issued by the Probate Court Administrator. Any payments made to such judge or the personal representative of a deceased judge shall be subject to the provisions of section 45a-92, and no such payments shall be made unless and until the accounts receivable are collected by the successor judge and no such payments shall be made except within the time for filing a statement signed under penalty of false statement showing the actual gross receipts of the itemized costs of the office in accordance with said section 45a-92. There may be deducted from any such amounts by a successor judge the cost of collection thereof, and any expenses directly attributable to the outgoing judge's or deceased judge's term of office paid by the successor judge. In no event shall any such payments exceed the maximums allowable under the provisions of said section 45a-92 in any one calendar year, and in the aggregate in no event shall the total payments payable under this section exceed one hundred per cent of the average final compensation for such judge as defined in subdivision (1) of section 45a-34, except that such allowable maximum payment shall not include any amounts of money due and payable to the judge at the time of separation from the court or at the time of such judge's death for amounts advanced by such judge to the court for operating expenses and not previously repaid, which amounts may be paid to such judge or personal representative upon receipt of satisfactory proof of the existence of balances due.
