Manner of presentation of claims; commencement; claims by personal representative.
Status: in_force

Sec. 3804.

(1) A claimant must present a claim against a decedent's estate in either of the following ways:

(a) By delivering or mailing a written statement to the personal representative indicating the claim's basis, the claimant's name and address, and the amount claimed, or by filing with the court a written statement of the claim in the form prescribed by supreme court rule and delivering or mailing a copy of the statement to the personal representative. The claim shall be considered presented on receipt of the claim statement by the personal representative or the filing of the claim statement with the court, whichever occurs first. If a claim is not yet due, the statement shall state the date when it will become due. If the claim is contingent or unliquidated, the statement shall state the nature of the uncertainty. If the claim is secured, the statement shall describe the security. Failure to describe correctly the security, the nature of any uncertainty, or the due date of a claim not yet due does not invalidate the claim's presentation.

(b) By commencing a proceeding to obtain payment of a claim against the estate in a court in which the personal representative may be subjected to jurisdiction. The commencement of the proceeding shall occur within the time limit for presenting the claim. The presentation of a claim is not required in regard to a matter claimed in a proceeding against the decedent that is pending at the time of death.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a claim is presented under subsection (1)(a), a proceeding on the claim shall not be commenced more than 63 days after the personal representative delivers or mails a notice of disallowance to the claimant. For a claim that is not presently due or that is contingent or unliquidated, the personal representative may consent to an extension of the 63-day period or, to avoid injustice, the court, on petition, may order an extension of the 63-day period, but an extension shall not be consented to or ordered if the extension would run beyond the applicable statute of limitations.

(3) A claim by the personal representative against the estate shall be in the form prescribed by supreme court rule. The personal representative must give a copy of the claim to all interested persons not later than 7 days after the time for the claim's original presentation expires. The claim must contain a warning that the personal representative's claim will be allowed unless a notice of objection is delivered or mailed to the personal representative within 63 days after the time for the claim's original presentation expires. This subsection does not apply to a claim for compensation for services rendered or for reimbursement of expenses advanced by the personal representative.

Allowance or disallowance of claims against revocable trust.
Status: in_force

Sec. 7611.

If there is no personal representative appointed for the settlor's estate and notice is given in accordance with section 7608, the allowance or disallowance of a claim presented in the manner described in section 7609(1) and within a time period described in section 7610 is governed by the following provisions:

(a) The trustee may deliver or mail a notice to the claimant stating that the claim has been disallowed in whole or in part. If, after allowing or disallowing a claim, the trustee changes a decision concerning the claim, the trustee shall notify the claimant. The trustee shall not change a decision disallowing a claim if the time for the claimant to commence a proceeding for allowance expires or if the time to commence a proceeding on the claim expires and the claim has been barred. A claim that is disallowed in whole or in part by the trustee is barred to the extent not allowed unless the claimant commences a proceeding against the trustee not later than 63 days after the mailing of the notice of disallowance or partial allowance if the notice warns the claimant of the impending bar. Failure by the trustee to deliver or mail to a claimant notice of action on the claim within 63 days after the time for the claim's presentation has expired constitutes a notice of allowance.

(b) After allowing or disallowing a claim, the trustee may change the allowance or disallowance as provided in this subdivision. Before payment, the trustee may change the allowance to a disallowance in whole or in part, but not after allowance by a court order or judgment, or an order directing payment of the claim. The trustee shall notify the claimant of the change to disallowance, and the disallowed claim is then subject to bar as provided in subdivision (a). The trustee may change a disallowance to an allowance, in whole or in part, until it is barred under subdivision (a). After a claim is barred, it may be allowed and paid only if the trust is solvent and all whose interests would be affected consent.

(c) Upon the trustee's or a claimant's commencement of a proceeding, the court may allow in whole or in part a claim properly presented in due time and not barred by subdivision (a).

(d) A judgment in a proceeding in another court against a trustee to enforce a claim against a decedent's estate constitutes an allowance of the claim.

(e) Unless otherwise provided in a judgment in another court entered against the trustee, an allowed claim bears interest at a rate determined under section 6013 of the revised judicature act of 1961, MCL 600.6013, for the period commencing 63 days after the time for original presentation of the claim has expired, unless based on a contract that provides for interest, in which case the claim bears interest in accordance with the contract.
