[WSBAPT] Creditor Claim - No Direct Notice Provided but Probate Closed

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Greetings Brilliant thinkers -

Estate closed through Declaration of Completion on May 20, 2021 - effective
June 20, 2021.

Creditor Claim filed by our friends at DCM Services on behalf of a cell
phone carrier on October 12th.

The Executor did not give actual notice to this phone company, but did
publish. There are no facts to be known that would establish why they were
not reasonably ascertainable.

I am struggling to see what options exist other than to:
1) pay the $340
2) ignore the letter because the probate is closed (though interestingly
enough, the clerk allowed them to file in the case despite a Declaration of
Completion).
3) issue a denial where the executor simply provides the affidavit of
publication and claims that the creditor period is completed.

Appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

Brent
