Enforcement of orders or decrees of probate court against conservator, etc.

The court of probate may, by attachment, compel a conservator to obey its orders or decrees, and all final decrees rendered against a conservator or against the personal representative of the conservator on a final settlement have the force and effect of a judgement at law, on which execution may issue against the conservator or his personal representative and against the sureties of the conservator, whether the principal has signed the bond or not, whether such settlement is voluntary or involuntary and whether such settlement is made by the conservator while living or by his personal representative after his death. Process of garnishment may issue from the court of probate upon such decrees in like cases and manner as it may issue on judgments in courts of record and may, in like manner, be prosecuted to judgment against the garnishee.
