§ 1202. Statutes of limitations
Unless an estate is insolvent, the executor or administrator, with the consent of
all heirs, devisees, and legatees, 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 event other than death and
advertisement for claims against a decedent is suspended during the four months following
the first publication of notice under section 1201 of this title 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 1204 of this title is equivalent to commencement of a proceeding on the claim. (Added 1975, No. 240 (Adj. Sess.), § 7.)
