<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>I think the husband's creditors were barred two years
from his date of death and wife's death and probate doesn't change that (unless
this is a DSHS nursing care debt). I will be interested if others
disagree.<BR><BR>

<DIV>Husband died 3 years ago, with unpaid nursing home bill. No
subsequent probate. Surviving spouse (wife), who would be responsible
for community debt, did not pay it. Now wife has died, and her probate
is in progress. Does creditor claims procedure of wife’s probate
work also against that old nursing home debt? </DIV>
