14-3811. Counterclaims
In allowing a claim the personal representative may deduct any counterclaim which
the estate has against the claimant. In determining a claim against an estate a court
shall reduce the amount allowed by the amount of any counterclaims and, if the
counterclaims exceed the claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the amount of
the excess. A counterclaim, liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction
other than that upon which the claim is based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief
exceeding in amount or different in kind from that sought in the claim.
