[WSBAPT] Tolling agreement for deadline to file suit on rejected creditor claim

[Roger Hawkes]

I think the statutes are mandatory; probably a tolling agreement before the creditor's lawsuit would not be upheld by the court.  Within that lawsuit, probably agreements would work.  Could maybe get probate court blessing on some tolling agreement but I don't think a judge or coa would approve.  The statutes are phrased in mandate terms to keep probates moving along, methinks.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Tolling agreement for deadline to file suit on rejected creditor claim

Considering a tolling agreement between rejected creditor and the PR, to allow extra time to negotiate a settlement. I know some deadlines can be tolled, and some can't. Anyone have firm opinion on whether or not such a tolling agreement of this deadline is allowable? I think so, but haven't done the research (yet). Hoping to strike gold with a knowledgeable colleague...

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Eric
