Text

After assets of an estate have been distributed,
and subject to section 7 of this chapter, an undischarged claim not
barred may be prosecuted in a proceeding against one (1) or more
distributees. No distributee is liable to claimants for amounts in excess
of the value of his distribution as of the time of distribution. As
between distributees, each shall bear the cost of satisfaction of
unbarred claims as if the claim had been satisfied in the course of
administration. Any distributee who fails to notify other distributees of
the demand made upon him by the claimant in sufficient time to permit
them to join in any proceeding in which the claim was asserted against
him loses his right of contribution against other distributees.
Formerly: Acts 1975, P.L.288, SEC.11. As amended by
