14-3802. Statute of limitations
Unless an estate is insolvent the personal representative, with the consent of all
successors whose interests would be affected, may waive any defense of limitations
available to the estate. If the defense is not waived, no claim which was barred by any
statute of limitations at the time of the decedent's death shall be allowed or paid. The
running of any statute of limitations measured from some other event than death and
advertisement for claims against a decedent is suspended during the four months following
the decedent's death but resumes thereafter as to claims not barred pursuant to the
sections which follow. For purposes of any statute of limitations, the proper
presentation of a claim under section 14-3804 is equivalent to commencement of a
proceeding on the claim.
