§560:3-802  Statutes of limitations. 
(a)  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 barred by a statute of limitations at the time of the decedent's death
may be allowed or paid.



(b)  The running of a statute of limitations
measured from an event other than death or the giving of notice to creditors is
suspended for four months after the decedent's death, but resumes thereafter as
to claims not barred by other sections.



(c)  For purposes of a statute of limitations,
the presentation of a claim pursuant to section 560:3-804 is equivalent to
commencement of a proceeding on the claim. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
