(a) The personal representative at any time
shall pay the claims as the court shall order if the claims are filed
within three (3) months after the date of the first published notice to
creditors or the period allowed under IC 29-1-7-7, if applicable, and the
court may require bond or security to be given by the creditor to refund

(b) Prior to the expiration of three (3) months after the date of the
first published notice to creditors or the period allowed under IC 29-1-7-7, the personal representative, if the estate clearly is solvent,
may pay any claims that the personal representative believes are just
and correct, whether or not the claims have been filed. The personal
representative may require bond or security to be given by the creditor
to refund any part of the payment as the court may subsequently order.
The personal representative, following all such payments, shall include

court as a part of the account.

published notice to creditors or the period allowed under IC 29-1-7-7

allowed against the estate in accordance with this title that the personal
representative has not paid.

that there are insufficient funds on hand, or that there is other good or
sufficient cause, the personal representative may report that fact to the
court and apply for any necessary order.
