1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]o construe §§ [ 45a-186 ] and [ 45a-187 ] as allowing the plaintiff[s] twelve months in which to appeal when [they] had signed a written waiver of notice, in lieu of notice, completely ignores the effect of § [ 45a-286 ]. Such a construction would . . . have the effect of eliminating the waiver of notice, provided for by § [ 45a-286 ], as the alternative to legal notice.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[m]ost courts . . . have adopted the practice of not assigning a time and place for formal hearing upon such applications where notice of hearing is waived. . . . In such cases the papers are examined by the court, and if the granting of administration or probate of the will found to be proper, the necessary decree is entered without further formality.”
