<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The Note's interest continues to accrue. The Note is a contract between decedent and creditor and the contract remains enforceable.
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=4.20.046">RCW 4.20.046(1)</a>;
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.48.090">RCW 11.48.090</a>. A creditor claim also covers amounts "not yet due."
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.40.070">RCW 11.40.070(e)</a>. Probably easiest thing to do is make the amount of claim the principal balance owing under the Note (even if it's not due yet), "plus unpaid interest on and after [date]
in accordance with the Note, and all other amounts not yet due under the Note." The Note terms still control due dates for installments, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Y'know, it's never occurred to me before--I wonder if one could petition to have the Estate allow the claim and also require the Estate to continue making installment payments, as "performance of a decedent's
contract" under <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.60&full=true">
Ch. 11.62 RCW</a>? Or perhaps the creditor claim provisions would control over that chapter, if the decedent's "performance" is nothing more than installment payments of money.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I may be overthinking this. Does a creditor’s claim on a promissory note include post-death interest or only interest up to the date of death? Filing a claim for a client.<o:p></o:p></p>
