2005 Rhode Island Code - § 33-11-20 — Application of later discovered assets – Extension of time for filing claims.

    If further assets come to the hands of an executor or administrator after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the first publication of notice of the qualification of the first executor or administrator, he or she shall apply the assets to the payment of the claims of creditors and account therefore in the same manner as assets received within six (6) months; and if the surplus of the assets remaining after payment of the claims in full is, in the opinion of the probate court, sufficient to warrant so doing, the probate court may order notice given of the receipt of the assets and may extend the time for filing claims not to exceed six (6) months after notice. Claims filed within the extended time may be allowed or proved in the same manner as claims filed within six (6) months and shall be payable out of the assets remaining in the hands of the executor or administrator. In case of disallowance of a claim, suit may be brought only within six (6) months after notice of disallowance.
