<P class=MsoNormal>I would have the client sign a Declaration of Due Diligence
(11.40.040) which explains what he reviewed and measures taken to ascertain
creditors and file it with the court. If a creditor claim was filed with
the court after the cut off period that you don’t think was an ascertainable
creditor, I’d file a Notice of Untimely Creditor Claim. I can’t find what
I filed last time, but I just stated that the claim was untimely so it was not
entitled to a rejection or acceptance and filed a notice of mailing it to the
creditor. That let the court know that we were not ignoring it.
After I close the probate, if I get letters or calls from creditors, I just
ignore them. <o:p></o:p></P>
