[WSBAPT] cred claim for decd spouse debt

[Krista MacLaren]

Melinda,

I think the husband's creditors were barred two years from his date of death and wife's death and probate doesn't change that (unless this is a DSHS nursing care debt).  I will be interested if others disagree.

Now wife has died, and her probate is in progress.   Does creditor claims procedure of wife’s probate work also against that old nursing home debt?
