Yes, but the creditor must be familiar with the rules. There is a specific time after an estate is filed during which a creditor can make a claim. You must file proof of your claim at the probate court where the estate was filed. If you follow the rules, your claim will be paid prior to any distribution of estate assets to the beneficiaries.
