<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello learned colleagues: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I received a creditor claim from DSHS for $50,000 for decedent’s hospital/pharmacy bills dating back to 1999 – 2003. I reviewed the statutes/WACS cited on the claim.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought I remembered something earlier on this listserv about a 20 year SOL, but that is not mentioned anywhere in the recovery laws?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no doubt that the decedent did receive the services, so the legitimacy of the underlying debt is undisputable. It’s just been such a long time….does such a debt really live on forever? The estate is solvent even with the claim.
There is no surviving spouse or disabled or dependent children. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to any possible defenses or is it just time to pay up?<o:p></o:p></p>
