Official statutory text
If the personal representative is a creditor of the decedent,
his claim must be presented for allowance or rejection to the judge
of the district court not later than the presentment date as
provided in the notice, and its allowance by the judge is sufficient
evidence of its correctness, and it must be paid as other claims, in
due course of administration. If, however, the judge rejects the
claim, action thereon may be had against the estate by the claimant,
and summons must be served upon the judge of the district court, who
may appoint an attorney at the expense of the estate, to defend the
action. If the claimant recover no judgment, he must pay all costs,
including defendant's attorney's fee.
