<p class="MsoNormal">In my case DSHS has a pre-death 6-figure claim. Probate Notice to Creditors was sent to OFR with all of the proper ID for the Decedent. 5 months later, no reply. The estate is ready to close. How can a PR pay a claim in which the
Creditor is not responding? It’s a frustrating situation because I anticipate OFR will come back after the estate is closed and demand repayment from the heirs - which are charities. <o:p></o:p></p>

have to the follow the rules. So far, I’ve not heard from the AG and quite frankly, the federal statute the DSHS representative cited did not appear to have anything to do with claims of DSHS. I transferred the property to the PR/Beneficiary who is aware
