    (1) At any time after a corporation has been dissolved, the corporation, or  a receiver appointed for the corporation pursuant to this chapter, may give  notice requiring all creditors to present their claims in writing. Such notice  shall be published 3 times, once in each of 3 consecutive weeks, in a newspaper  of general circulation in the county in which the registered office of the  corporation is located and shall state that all persons who are creditors of  the corporation shall present written proof of their claims to the corporation  or the receiver, as the case may be, at a place and on or before a date named  in the notice, which date shall not be less than 6 months after the date of the  first publication.

    (2) On or before the date of the first publication of the notice as provided  in subsection 14A:12-12(1), the corporation, or the receiver, as the case may  be, shall mail a copy of the notice to each known creditor of the corporation.   The giving of such notice shall not constitute recognition that any person to  whom such notice is directed is a creditor of the corporation other than for  the purpose of receipt of notice hereunder.

    (3) As used in this section,  "creditor"  means all persons to whom the corporation is indebted, and all other persons who have claims or rights against the corporation, whether liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured.

    (4) Proof of the publication and mailing authorized by this section shall be  made by an affidavit filed in the office of the Secretary of State.
