Subject: [WSBAPT] DSHS creditors claims

We've received a large creditor's claim from DSHS in a recent probate.  The claim is quite large and from many years ago (2013-2016).  Our client thinks its bogus and we've send a demand letter to DSHS for proof of the claim.  In the meantime, we are trying to determine if we should reject the claim.  Is DSHS bound by the same timeframes/rules as regular creditors?  Any advice on specifically dealing with DSHS creditor's claims would be greatly appreciated!
