Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-144: Assessment on estate of decedent.

When any assessment of damages or benefits, or both, for the layout or construction of any highway or other public work, by any town, city or borough, has been made upon or in respect to any land or interest in land which has belonged to a deceased person, of whose estate no distribution has been recorded, it shall be sufficient if the report or schedule of such assessment describes the property assessed as land of the estate of such deceased person or describes his estate as being assessed; and any lien or claim upon such property resulting from such assessment, otherwise legal and formal, may be foreclosed or otherwise enforced against such property or the amount of such assessment collected from any persons claiming such land under the title of such deceased person.
