What happens if an Estate has debt?
Debts within an Estate are common, but they must be settled before asset distribution. Only valid debts are considered, and debtors must lodge a claim against the Estate. The Executor/Administrator is obliged to notify known debtors. Valid claims typically have a statute of limitations, usually three to seven months after Estate opening and public notice. Payment priority follows admin expenses, funeral expenses, taxes, creditors, and finally, heirs.
