[WSBAPT] Ignore or Reject a Time-Barred Creditor Claim?

[David Faber]

I'm working a probate right now where we published notice and sent actual
notice to all ascertainable creditors. The time-bar for creditor claims
came and went on the 16th (that was 30 days after I provided actual notice,
a little more than 4 months after the first date of publication). Today,
however, my office received a creditor claim dated the 19th. It's clear
that the creditor claim is time-barred, but I just want clarification that
I'm thinking correctly about this. Because the claim is time-barred, it
isn't "presented in the manner provided in RCW 11.40.070" and therefore the
PR has no obligation to accept or reject the claim, correct? In other
words, it's appropriate for the PR to just ignore the creditor claim
because it wasn't presented property, yes?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Best,
