Wisconsin Claim Against Estate (Informal and Formal Administration) is the process by which creditors of a deceased person can file claims against the estate for payment of debts. The type of claim depends on the type of administration of the estate. For Informal Administration, creditors can file a Wisconsin claim against the estate for payment of debts without having to go through the court. This is done by submitting the claim directly to the Personal Representative (PR) who is responsible for the administration of the estate. The PR must then review the claim, and if approved, the PR can pay the claim out of the estate. If the claim is denied, the creditor can then take the matter to court for resolution. For Formal Administration, the creditor must file a Wisconsin claim against the estate for payment of debts through the court. This process is started by filing a petition with the court, and then the court will appoint a PR to administer the estate. The creditor must then present their claim to the PR, and if approved, the PR can pay the claim out of the estate. If the claim is denied, the creditor can then take the matter to court for resolution.
