§ 2517. Claims; Affidavits; Contingent Claims; Claims Not Due;

Vouchers.

Every claim which is due, when filed or presented, must be

supported by the affidavit of the claimant or some one on the claimant's

behalf, that the amount is justly due, that no payments have been made

thereon which are not credited, and that there are no offsets to the same,

to the knowledge of the affiant. If the claim is not due when filed or

presented, or is contingent, the particulars of the claim must be stated.

When the affidavit is made by a person other than the claimant, such

person must set forth in the affidavit the reason therefor. The personal

representative may also require satisfactory vouchers or proof to be

produced in support of the claim. If the claimant leaves any original

voucher in the hands of the personal representative, or suffers the same to

be filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court, the claimant may withdraw

the same, when a copy thereof has been already, or is then, attached to

his claim.
