Video Summary
Is there a deadline for creditors to submit their claims in probate? Yes, there is. The executor, once they’re appointed by the court and issued letters of administration, their lawyer sends out a notice to credit to any reasonably ascertainable creditor. That gives the creditor three months in which to file their claims in the estate. If they don’t do that after receiving this notice, then their claims will be barred. If the notice is not sent or a creditor does not receive notice, they have up to two years before their claim is barred. There is a time limitation and a procedure or process to give notice to creditors to file their claims or else they will be barred. If you have any questions, give me a call at 727-847-2288.
