<div>I will add that the rules are different if it is two years or less since death. A creditor claim can be made against estate assets and policy of insurance then. If after 2 years, you are limited to insurance limits. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Down here in Oregon, we have a statute as follows: ORS 115.005(5)(b) – A claim need not be timely presented by a claimant if the decedent or the PR had insurance coverage at the time that the proceeding to establish liability was commenced.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does Washington have a similar statute?</p>
