§ 2737. Claim Omitted From Account; Creditor's Remedies.

COL120106

When the accounts of the personal representative have been settled,

and an order made for the payment of debts and distribution of the estate,

no creditor whose claim was not included in the order for payment has

any right to call upon the creditors who have been paid, or upon the

heirs, devisees or legatees, to contribute to the payment of his claim; but

if the personal representative has failed to give the notice to creditors, as

prescribed by the provisions of Chapter 25 of this Title, such creditor

may recover on the bond of the personal representative, or upon the other

form of security provided for the faithful performance of the personal

representative's trust, the amount for which his claim would properly

have been allowed.
