Section 43-2-640 Authorization to make distribution - Distribution by executor or administrator.
When the executor or administrator is satisfied that the estate is solvent, he may, after
six months from the date of the grant of letters testamentary or of administration, make distribution
of the whole or any part of the property without obtaining an order of court, or he may so
report it and obtain an order of distribution as to the whole, or any part of the property;
but, in such case, if the distribution or the order is made before a final settlement of such
