Otherwise it is rejected. I have had claims filed with the court but not served on me or the PR, or served on me and not filed with the court. If they miss either step I reject the claim. Look at Estate of Sussman, No. 29991-7-II (Div. II 2004). Although you cannot cite the case I think there are other’s out there that follow its reasoning.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff Davis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com <wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Brent Williams-Ruth<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 28, 2019 3:54 PM<br><b>To:</b> WSBA Probate & Trust Listserv <wsbapt@lists.wsbarppt.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [WSBAPT] Creditor's Claim - Hypothetical<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>If you have a creditor's claim - but it left the hands of the creditor on the very last day - but didn't get filed until 10 days later (who knows, maybe mail was slow and then the clerk's office just didn't get to it quickly).<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Would that be timely?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The notice says that the claim must be PRESENTED by.......<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Curious to know if anyone has fought this battle or not. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Brent Williams-Ruth</span></b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> <br><i>Founding Member</i></span><o:p></o:p></p><p><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>BWR Consulting, PLLC</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Office/Scheduling Phone:<span style='color:#004080'> </span>(425) 830-5134</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Direct Mobile: (206) 889-7919</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><a href="mailto:brent@bwrconsults.com" target="_blank">e-mail</a> / <a href="http://www.bwrconsults.com" target="_blank">website</a> /</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/bwrconsults" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>facebook</span></a><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> / </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
