any distributee or legatee owes the estate any debt, contracted with the decedent in his lifetime
or with the executor or administrator in his representative capacity, the court shall allow
the same in favor of the executor or administrator, as a setoff against the distributive share

(b) In no case shall a decree be rendered in favor of the executor or administrator against

in the proper court for any excess that may be due him...

Section 43-2-517 Appointment and compensation of special guardian. The jurisdiction of the
probate court to make partial or final settlements or distributions of the estates of decedents
is not affected by the fact that the executor or administrator making the settlement is also
