SB 1176 Nonexoneration of debts on property of decedent; notice to creditor and beneficiaries.
Introduced by: A. Benton "Ben" Chafin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Nonexoneration of debts on property of decedent; notice to creditor and beneficiaries. Provides a procedure by which a personal representative of a decedent's estate may notify a creditor of a debt on certain property in the decedent's estate that such property passes without the right of exoneration. The bill provides the method by which such notice shall be sent. The bill provides that if such procedure is used, the creditor may file a claim for such debt with the commissioner of accounts, and if the creditor does not timely file such claim, the personal representative shall be liable for the debt up to an amount not exceeding the assets of the decedent remaining in possession of the personal representative and available for application to the debt. The bill does not have an effect on either the liability of the estate for such debt to the extent of the decedent's assets remaining at the time a claim is filed or the liability of the beneficiaries that receive the decedent's assets to the extent of such receipt. This bill is identical to HB 1618.
