- How AI is used
- List each creditor the file shows demanded payment, with the date of the demand, the amount if printed, and the page. Leave the notice date and the claim deadline blank.
- What the lawyer must review
- Probate Code § 9050(a) requires the personal representative, subject to § 9054, to give notice of administration to the known or reasonably ascertainable creditors of the decedent. For that subdivision, the personal representative has knowledge of a creditor if aware that the creditor has demanded payment from the decedent or the estate. The notice is given as provided in § 1215. Section 9050(b) provides that this notice is in addition to publication of notice under § 8120. Section 9100(a) requires a creditor to file a claim before the later of four months after letters are first issued to a general personal representative, or 60 days after notice of administration is mailed or personally delivered to the creditor. Paragraph (a)(2) does not extend Code of Civil Procedure § 366.2. Section 9100(c) says this section does not extend or toll any other statute of limitations or revive a barred claim, and that reference includes § 366.2. You decide who must receive notice and you compute the later date.
