Text

In allowing a claim the personal representative
may deduct any counterclaim which the estate has against the claimant. In
determining a claim against an estate a court shall reduce the amount allowed by
the amount of any counterclaims and, if the counterclaims exceed the claim, render
a judgment against the claimant in the amount of the excess. A counterclaim,
liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction other than that upon which
the claim is based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief exceeding in amount or
different in kind from that sought in the claim.
