§ 20–904. Failure of executor to include claims of testator against executor in inventory; remedyIf an executor fails to include a claim which the testator had against him in the list of debts due the deceased, a person interested in the administration may allege the failure by petition to the Probate Court. The court, with the consent of the parties, may decide the matter, or it may be referred by the parties, with the court’s approval; or at the instance of either party the court may direct an issue to be tried by a jury. If the claim in any such proceedings is decided to be a just claim of the decedent against the executor, the executor shall be charged with the amount thereof as provided by section 20–903.
