A claim of an unsecured creditor for money that is not presented within the time prescribed by the notice of presentment permitted by Section 784(e) of this code is barred.
(b) A claim against a ward on which a suit is barred by a general statute of limitation applicable to the claim may not be allowed by a guardian. If allowed by the guardian and the court is satisfied that limitation has run, the claim shall be disapproved.
