Re: notice to known creditor
You have 63 days from the date of notice. If you are beyond this deadline, your options are slim. If the notice was inadequate, this would be one avenue, but I would need to see the document itself to determine that. If the personal rep was otherwise aware of your claim that may be another option to pursue.

What state is the estate in? If the deadline to file a claim has passed, that would mean that the creditor will be barred from collecting against the estate (provided notice was sufficient). What makes notice sufficient varies from state to state, so it would help to know if the estate is in Minnesota or Michigan.

Most likely the creditor in the probate estate was put on notice to file their claim against the estate, ie- the decedent owed me money, and if they didn't file that claim timely, it could be lost. Visit me at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss in more detail. Tim Klisz
