Terms Used In Indiana Code 29-1-7.5-6

  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
   Sec. 6. Unless previously barred by adjudication and except as provided in the closing statement, all claims against the personal representative, including claims by a person under a disability, are barred unless a proceeding to assert the same is commenced within three (3) months after the filing of the closing statement. The rights thus barred do not include rights to recover from a personal representative for fraud, misrepresentation, or inadequate disclosure related to the settlement of the decedent‘s estate.

Formerly: Acts 1975, P.L.288, SEC.11. As amended by Acts 1978, P.L.132, SEC.4.
