If the personal representative rejects a claim against the estate, in whole or in part, or fails to respond to a claim within 30 days of receipt of the claimant’s notice, the claimant must bring a petition for allowance of the claim in the probate action within 30 days of notification of rejection or the claim is forever barred.

The Court shall set the matter for hearing as in other civil proceedings and determine whether the claim should be allowed or rejected. [Ord. 53 § 8603, amended, 10/30/2018; Ord. 50B § 8603, amended, 6/22/2017.]
