What is a Statement of Claim Against Estate?

The Statement of Claim Against Estate is filed by a creditor or person who is owed money by a deceased person. During the probate process, Statements of Claim Against Estate can be filed with the court where the deceased was a resident and with the personal representative or administrator of the estate.

The personal representative (or administrator) is responsible for reviewing all Statement of Claims filed against an estate prior to distributing any of the deceased's assets to the heirs. Simply filing a Statement of Claim Against Estate does not guarantee reimbursement or payment. Rather, it ensures that if there is enough money to pay all creditors, the creditor will also receive payment.
