<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I can think of no other way to read the statute. I time the known creditor notices for about 35-40 days before the 4-month deadline so that I know they’re all due on that
date. The 30-day rule is for those served 29 or fewer days (or after) the 4-month deadline. If anyone thinks otherwise, I may have to unsubscribe from this list before I get banned.

<p class="MsoNormal">Need to settle a debate about whether a known creditor timely filed their claim. Estate published notice to creditors. Known Creditor given actual notice of their duty to file their claim “within the later of: (1) 30 days after PR served
or mailed the notice to creditor; or (2) 4 months after date of first publication of the notice. Creditor’s claim was filed within the 4 month period after first publication. I say that “within the later of” means a creditor given actual notice can take
advantage of the 4 month period to file their claim. The push back is what is the reason for the 30 day period then? Your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>
