Who are reasonably ascertainable creditors?
An important role of the personal representative in the settlement of an estate is to promptly make a diligent search to determine potential creditors of the decedent who are reasonably ascertainable and to serve on them a Notice to Creditors. If this task is properly performed, the claims of potential creditors will be barred after the later of 3 months after first publication of the Notice to Creditors or 30 days after date of service of a copy of the Notice to Creditors. This white paper reviews who reasonably ascertainable creditors are and what a diligent search is.
