[WSBAPT] Creditor "auto accident"

[Kristina Driessen]

Good Morning

I have a probate where the decedent was in an accident prior to passing.  The accident was arguably the decedents fault. The other person in the accident and the spouse brought forth a claim to the auto insurance.  The victim has been paid [prior to decedent passing] The spouse claim is still out there.  The insurance believes the insurance should cover it.

We have both published and sent an actual notice to creditors to the person. No response during the 4 months.  The estate is in a position to be closed, but I am not sure what else needs to be done? Do we have to wait out the statute of limitations?
