• (a) The Probate Division of the Superior Court may issue an order excusing the executor
  or administrator from complying with the notice to creditors provisions of the Rules

  and there are funds to pay them; or (3) the value of the estate does not exceed the sum of $2,500.00 and is assigned for the
  support of the surviving spouse. (b) If notice is not given because an order is entered as provided in subsection (a) of
  this section, any assets distributed by the administrator or executor will be subject
  to any claims later established, and sections 1202 and 1203 of this title shall apply, but the executors or administrators will not be liable to distributees
  for losses to them when required to reimburse creditors. (Added 1975, No. 240 (Adj. Sess.), § 7; amended 1985, No. 144 (Adj. Sess.), § 58; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 238a, eff. Feb. 1, 2011.)
