Sec. 795. DEPOSITING CLAIMS WITH CLERK    


Latest version.
  • A claim may also be presented by depositing the claim, with vouchers and necessary exhibits and affidavit attached to the claim, with the clerk. The clerk, on receiving the claim, shall advise the guardian of the estate or the guardian's attorney by letter mailed to the last known address of the guardian of the deposit of the claim. If the guardian fails to act on the claim within 30 days after it is filed, the claim is presumed to be rejected. Failure of the clerk to give notice as required under this section does not affect the validity of the presentment or the presumption of rejection of the claim because not acted on within the 30-day period.
