[WSBAPT] Extending creditor claim period for PR claim?

[Stephen Brandli]

I understand the facts to be that the PR, your client, has just found creditors who are arguably “reasonably ascertainable.”  If so, the statute of limitations for those creditors is 2 years even though you have published a notice to creditors.  You limit the limitations period by serving the creditors with the notice.  Then the creditor has 30 days to file the claim.  This is true even if the notice is served after expiration of the 4 month period that begins with the first publishing of the notice to creditors.  See RCW 11.40.051.

Good morning,

Any way to extend the 4-month creditor claim period set to expire in a few days? Client PR just came forward with potential claims for reimbursement for her decedent mother's caregiving expenses prior to her death. I realize that we would have to file a petition under TEDRA, but this would also give the other heirs the opportunity to object, and obviously further creditor claims to be presented, but I also just need to know if extending the creditor claim period is even possible, and if so, if anyone has a template for such.

Sincerely,
