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

[Heather deVrieze]

I agree that it is too late, as the statute is pretty clear. “A claim is deemed presented upon the later of the date of postmark or service on the personal representative, or the personal representative's attorney, and filing with the court.”

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

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…)
