In all other cases the court may provide for the payment of contingent claims in any one of the following methods:  (1) The creditor and executor or administrator may determine, by agreement, arbitration or compromise, the value thereof, according to its probable present worth, and upon approval thereof by the court, it may be allowed and paid in the same manner as an absolute claim.  (2) The court may order the executor or administrator to make distribution of the estate but to retain in his hands sufficient funds to pay the claim if and when the same becomes absolute; but for this purpose the estate shall not be kept open longer than two years after distribution of the remainder of the estate has been made; and if the claim has not become absolute within that time, distribution shall be made to the distributees of the funds so retained, after paying any costs and expenses accruing during such period and the distributees are liable to the creditor to the extent of the estate received by them, if the contingent claim thereafter becomes absolute. When distribution is made to distributees, the court may require such distributees to give bond for the satisfaction of their liability to the contingent creditor.  (3) The court may order distribution of the estate as though the contingent claim did not exist, but the distributees are liable to the creditor to the extent of the estate received by them, if the contingent claim thereafter becomes absolute; and the court may require such distributees to give bond for the performance of their liability to the contingent creditor. ­­-------- (L. 1955 p. 385 § 148)  (1958) Contract between three owners of corporation requiring each to pay specified amount to corporation, when, as and if it needed money and was short of cash held valid and allowable against estate of deceased party as a contingent claim.

Effective - 02 Jan 1979   473.393. Collection of contingent claims from distributees — limitations — contribution. — If a contingent claim has been filed and allowed against an estate and all the assets of the estate including the fund, if any, set apart for the payment thereof, have been distributed, and the claim thereafter becomes absolute, the creditor may recover thereon against those distributees whose distributive shares have been increased by reason of the fact that the amount of the claim as finally determined was not paid prior to final distribution, if an action therefor is commenced within six months after the claim becomes absolute. The distributees are jointly and severally liable, but no distributee is liable for an amount exceeding the amount of the estate or fund distributed to him. If more than one distributee is liable to the creditor, he shall make all distributees who can be reached by process parties to the action. By its judgment the court shall determine the amount of the liability of each of the defendants as between themselves, but if any is insolvent or unable to pay his proportion, or beyond the reach of process, the others, to the extent of their respective liabilities, nevertheless, are liable to the creditor for the whole amount of his debt. If a person liable for the debt fails to pay his just proportion to the creditor, he is liable to indemnify all who, by reason of the failure on his part, have paid more than their just proportion of the debt, the indemnity to be recovered in the same action or in separate actions. ­­-------- (L. 1955 p. 385 § 149, A.L. 1978 H.B. 1634)  Effective 1-02-79
