§ 29-1-14-18 — Compromise of claims

The personal representative may, if it
appears for the best interests of the estate, compromise any claim
against the estate, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, but if such claim is not filed such
compromise must be consummated within three (3) months after the
date of the first published notice to creditors. In the absence of prior
authorization or subsequent approval by the court, no compromise shall
bind the estate.
