Section 43-2-644
When distribution made; limit on amount.
On the day appointed, or on any other day to which the application may be continued, if the court is satisfied from the evidence that the assets are more than sufficient to pay the debts and charges, it may make an order of distribution for such portion of the distributive share of the applicant as may be authorized by the evidence; but, in making such order, the court must not exceed the share to which the applicant would be entitled on a final settlement and distribution.
