1.28.080 Claims

(a) Payment. Every general guardian shall pay the just debts of the ward out the ward's personal estate and the income of the ward's real estate, if sufficient, and if not, then out of the ward's real estate upon selling the same as provided by law. But a temporary guardian shall pay the debts of his or her ward only on order of the court.

(b) Proceedings to adjust claims. The guardian or a creditor of any ward may apply to the court for adjustment of claims against the ward incurred prior to entry of the order appointing the guardian or the filing of a lis pendens as provided in Section 1.28.130. The court shall by order fix the time and place it will adjust claims and the time within which all claims must be presented or barred. Notice of the time and place so fixed and limited shall be given by publication. After the court has made the order no action or proceeding may be commenced or maintained in any court against the ward upon any claim of which the tribal court has jurisdiction.
