Hi Karen, thank you for providing your location. In order to assist you better, could you please describe the specific legal issue you are facing in Wisconsin?
So I have been my own rep for an estate that was left to me. Creditors had 3 months to do a claim. I paid out money to them from the estates bank. The three months is done. Now the courts want a letter in response to more money
As per Wisconsin law:
- After the 3 months period, creditors can't make a claim.
- If the court requests more money, it might be for court costs or taxes.
- Consult a probate attorney if unsure.
Remember, this is just general advice.
Ok but what do they mean by a response letter
A response letter is a written document you'd send to address a request or issue raised by the court. In your case, it should detail why there's no more money left from the estate to pay additional claims. Always consult a licensed attorney for advice.
