<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">I am representing a PR who also filed a creditor's claim (through another attorney). I have been asked to note the matter for a hearing. I see that the procedures to be used are the TEDRA 11.96A procedures.
This seems like overkill to me and I'm wondering if perhaps anyone out there can tell me I'm reading the statute wrong. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt">Has anyone done this before? I represent the PR and don't mind helping her to get this calendared but I don't want to advocate one way or the other because of the conflict (family already fighting).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
