§ 145.060. Creditors' claims: Notice, filing, approval and payment; procedure if claim of Department of Health and Human Services rejected

1. A personal representative shall publish and mail notice to creditors in the manner

provided in NRS 155.020 . 2. Creditors of the estate must file their claims, due or to become due, with the

clerk, within 60 days after the mailing to the creditors for those required to be

mailed, or 60 days after the first publication of the notice to creditors pursuant

to NRS 155.020 , and within 15 days thereafter the personal representative shall allow or reject

the claims filed. 3. Any claim which is not filed within the 60 days is barred forever, except that

if it is made to appear, by the affidavit of the claimant or by other proof to the

satisfaction of the court, that the claimant did not have notice as provided in NRS 155.020 , the claim may be filed at any time before the filing of the final account. 4. Every claim which is filed as provided in this section and allowed by the personal

representative must then, and not until then, be ranked as an acknowledged debt of

the estate and be paid in the course of administration, except that payment of small

debts in advance may be made pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 150.230 . 5. If a claim filed by the Department of Health and Human Services is rejected by

the personal representative, the Director of the Department may, within 20 days after

receipt of the written notice of rejection, petition the court for summary determination

of the claim. A petition for summary determination must be filed with the clerk, who shall set

the petition for hearing, and the petitioner shall give notice for the period and

in the manner required by NRS 155.010 . Allowance of the claim by the court is sufficient evidence of its correctness, and

it must be paid as if previously allowed by the personal representative.
