Private money owed no, since the courts do not recognize common loans. However, if there was a contract or loan agreement you could make a claim upon the estate for payment. Just like many other financial wind ups there is an order of priority - (1) State and Federal Taxes; (2) Courts, Probate and Receiver Fees; (3) Secure Creditors, like mortgage holders; (4) Liens and Judgments; (5) Unsecure Creditors; and (6) Heirs. Lastly, if there is not enough to pay all the Unsecure Creditors you may be focused to accept a discounted amount representing your percentage of debt compared with other debtors. Then again, anything is better then nothing.

Can an executor file a claim against the estate in Kentucky?

Since the executor has the authority to handle the assets of the estate, pay any debts, and collect a statutory fee for their services before the legacies are paid the executor would have no reason to file a claim against the estate.
