§58-631.
Upon the final settlement of the accounts of the executor or
administrator, or at any subsequent time, upon the application of the
executor or administrator, or of any heir, legatee, or devisee, the
court must proceed to distribute the residue of the estate in the
hands of the executor or administrator, if any, among the persons who
by law are entitled thereto, and if the decedent has left a surviving
child, and the issue of other children, and any of them, before the
close of administration, have died while under age and not having been
married, no administration on such deceased child's estate is
necessary, but all the estate which such deceased child was entitled
to by inheritance, must, without administration, be distributed in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution of this state. A
statement of any receipts and disbursements of the executor or
administrator, since the rendition of his final accounts, must be
reported and filed at the time of making such distribution, and a
settlement thereof, together with an estimate of the expenses of
closing the estate, must be made by the court and included in the
order or decree, or the court or judge may order notice of the
settlement of such supplementary account, and refer the same as in
other cases of settlement of accounts.
