<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">All: I, like Heather, have filed the claim and then motioned for creditor’s claim approval in King county. For undisputed creditor claims, I think you can utilize a motion and proposed order. In my case,
no one showed for the hearing and judge signed Judgment based on creditor’s claim of the PR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">In Kitsap because of the known non-agreement of the creditor claims made by a PR, I filed a separate TEDRA action and we proceeded in that manner. We ended up agreeing to having a settlement conference and
the case settled before any arbitration, mediation or trial in TEDRA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">In a third matter currently pending, there are co-PRs and each have creditor claims. I represent one PR and the other PR also has counsel. We filed within the 4 month period but agreed to certain discovery
and possible mediation to settle the 2 claims. A lot depends on the claims being made, the response from the heirs on the claims of the PR and if there is a workable solution or if litigation in TEDRA is necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Heather—if this is a creditor claim by the PR, the PR must file it within the 4-month deadline. While technically a PR would be, via self-knowledge, a “reasonably ascertainable” creditor and so shouldn’t be barred unless the
PR mailed a copy of the Notice to Creditors to themselves, I can’t believe (or I don’t want to believe) that any court would apply the language of the statutes so literally as to benefit the PR and allow them to file their claim any old time within 2 years
because they didn’t “give notice” to themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Side note, that the requirement of using the TEDRA petition procedure for approval of the claim, per
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.40.140">RCW 11.40.140</a>, means a separate case has to be filed. This is nonsensical and counterproductive, but true because of the
<a href="http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2013-14/Pdf/Bills/Session%20Laws/Senate/5135-S.SL.pdf?cite=2013%20c%20246%20%C2%A7%202">
2013 amendment</a> to <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.96A.090">
RCW 11.96A.090(2)</a>, which eliminated the option of filing a TEDRA petition under the existing probate caption, and now only allows filing as a separate case.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Any way to extend the 4-month creditor claim period set to expire in a few days? Client PR just came forward with potential claims for reimbursement for her decedent mother's caregiving expenses prior to her death. I realize that we would
have to file a petition under TEDRA, but this would also give the other heirs the opportunity to object, and obviously further creditor claims to be presented, but I also just need to know if extending the creditor claim period is even possible, and if so,
if anyone has a template for such. <o:p></o:p></p>
