First of all, a lot depends on the state and jurisdiction. Generally, though, if the estate was duly probated and notice was published there was a period during which a creditor could make a claim, otherwise a claim by the creditor is barred. In such legal matters however, it is always a good idea to consult with the attorney who handled the estate.
