To make a claim in an estate, the creditor must go through the court system. The creditor first files a Statement of Claim in the probate matter for the decedent, or the person who died.
How To Sue A Deceased Person's Estate: Understanding California Law. Probate Code Sections 550 and 552 provide that an action against a deceased person, where the plaintiff seeks recovery of insurance proceeds only, may be filed against “the Estate of Decedent” within the decedent's estate.

Time Frame For Suing An Estate The California statute of limitations requires filing the lawsuit within 40 days from the defendant's death. Missing this timeline can affect the outcome of the case.
In Texas, claimants or creditors generally have four months after receiving proper notice of the probate administration to make claims on a probate estate.
