Can You Sue A Deceased Person? The short answer to this question in California is yes. Two sets of California statutes set out the applicable law under these circumstances: Code of Civil Procedure Sections 337.40 through 377.42; and Probate Code Sections 550 through 554.
Generally, in California creditors of a decedent's estate have up to one year (365 days) from the decedent's death to file a timely creditor claim. The claim must be filed inside an open probate court proceeding.
If in Orange County, this must be filed at the main courthouse located at 425 N. Orange Ave., Suite 335 Orlando, FL 32801. The custodian must supply the person's date of death or the person's social security number to the Clerk upon deposit of the will.
