Executor or administrator not responsible for claims made after distribution

§ 20–1319. Executor or administrator not responsible for claims made after distributionWhen all the assets have been paid away, delivered, or distributed as directed by this chapter, and afterwards a claim is exhibited of which the executor or administrator has no knowledge or notice by the exhibition of the claim legally authenticated, as required by this chapter, he is not answerable for it. When he is sued for a claim and makes it appear to the court in which suit is brought that he has so paid away, delivered, or distributed, and the plaintiff cannot prove that the defendant had notice as herein specified before the payment, delivery, or distribution, the court, although the amount of the claim against the deceased may be ascertained, may not give judgment until the plaintiff is able to show further assets coming into the defendant’s hands; but if the plaintiff proves notice, as herein specified, of the claim against the defendant, judgment may be immediately given for such sum as the plaintiff ought to have received at the dividend, and fieri facias may issue and have effect, and further judgment may be given on the coming in of further assets.
