Handling Creditors During Probate

Summary

In New Mexico, when handling creditors during probate with no valuable assets, notify all known creditors about the probate process. Creditors have a set period to file claims. If the estate lacks assets, it is settled as insolvent, and creditors may not receive payment. Consider starting the probate process to address these issues effectively.

In Georgia, creditors need to be notified of the probate process. They may file claims against the estate, but certain assets like the house may be exempt.
