Review the two main concerns during the creditor's claim period.
The creditor’s claim period expires three months after the first publication of the Notice to Creditors. The operation of the claims period procedures presents two concerns. First, as a general rule, debts of the estate should only be paid to those creditors who file Statement of Claims with the probate court. Secondly, debts to creditors should not be paid until the expiration of the claims period. This white paper reviews why applying these procedures is not always practical, particularly where you wish to pay a debt you know is valid without requiring the creditor to file a Statement of Claim, and particularly when you wish to pay a creditor in advance of the expiration of the creditors claim period.
