[WSBAPT] actual end date for 4 months creditors period?

[Tara M. Roberts]

Assuming they were not a reasonably ascertainable creditor, then the postmark is late.  Four months would be 6/8/17.  I’d reject it.

 

However, if they are reasonably ascertainable, then the creditor gets 30 days from the date of service/mailing of actual notice or 24-months from death, whichever is earlier.

I have a probate with creditors claim submitted right at the wire.  Notice published on 2/8/17.  Claim filed on time, but mailing of Claim to me was postmarked 6/9/17.  Too late, right?  (Given, of course, all the usual if, ands or buts…)
