14-3934. Liability of distributees to
claimants
After assets of an estate have been distributed and subject to section 14-3936, an
undischarged claim not barred may be prosecuted in a proceeding against one or more
distributees. No distributee shall be liable to claimants for amounts received as exempt
property, allowance in lieu of homestead or family allowance, or for amounts in excess of
the value of his distribution as of the time of distribution. As between distributees,
each shall bear the cost of satisfaction of unbarred claims as if the claim had been
satisfied in the course of administration. Any distributee who shall have failed to
notify other distributees of the demand made upon him by the claimant in sufficient time
to permit them to join in any proceeding in which the claim was asserted against him
loses his right of contribution against other distributees.
