<p class="MsoNormal">I have what was considered an insolvent estate upon opening
the probate. The creditor claim period has now passed, and many creditors
did not file claims (although actual notice was given to all), so there may be
some money left over for the sole heir. I am trying to decide if it is
better to go ahead and accept the few filed claims and pay them, and perhaps
send a rejection to a debt collection agency that failed to file a claim but
sent demand letters during the claim period, and then file a verified final
report and petition for distribution and closing, OR to wait to accept or pay
claims, file a verified report and petition asking the court to approve payment
of the claims, approve rejection/ignoring of any other creditors (who failed to
file claims), payment of attorney fees, funeral expenses, etc., and discharge of
PR after paying creditors.<o:p></o:p></p></div>
