Damages for wrongful death
Sec. 17. An administrator collecting damages for personal injury
resulting in the death of any decedent, may, at any time, file in the
court where he was appointed his final report with respect to such
proceeds, and the same may be approved by the court, and it shall not
be necessary to publish any notice of the final settlement of such
estate unless the same is ordered by the court. In the event that said
administrator was appointed for the sole purpose of collecting such
damages it shall not be necessary to publish any notice of the
issuance of letters of administration.
