[WSBAPT] Re-Opened Probate and Old Creditor Claims

[Eric Nelsen]

See recent case, last year or so, that I think said that creditor claim doesn't stop the statute of limitations on the underlying claim. If I'm remembering it right--worth looking for, because I'd bet the 10-year-old claims are long passed.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBAPT] Re-Opened Probate and Old Creditor Claims

Dear Listmates.  Happy beautiful Friday afternoon.  I need to reopen a long-standing, neglected, and troubled probate in order to sell an asset by having the clerk re-issue the letters testamentary.  Probate was opened in 2004.  In reviewing the file online, I see some creditor claims filed in 2005 which I strongly doubt were paid.  Probate was administratively closed by court clerk in 2012 because of lack of activity and neglect.

Do I need to be worried about the creditor claims?  Are they still valid?  Client would like to open the probate, get new letters, sell the asset, and then close the probate.
