rejection of claim

Read a random definition: terminer

A quick definition of rejection of claim:

Rejection of claim: When someone dies, their estate (all their money and belongings) is managed by an executor or administrator. If someone says that the deceased person owed them money, they can make a claim for that debt. However, the executor or administrator can say no to that claim, either in part or completely. They have to explain why they are rejecting the claim in writing, and if the person who made the claim disagrees, they can ask a judge to decide. If the executor or administrator doesn't respond to the claim, it might be assumed that they agree with it. Sometimes, other people or organizations can also reject claims, but there are rules about how to complain about that.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In probate law, rejection of claim refers to a claim for a debt of a deceased person that is denied (rejected) in part or in full by the executor or administrator of the estate. The rejection is made in writing and filed with the court. If the claimant protests, a judge will approve or disapprove the rejection. If a claim is not acted upon, it may be presumed to be approved in most states. Other types of claims may also be rejected by agencies or individuals, but they can be protested in a lawsuit if all administrative procedures are used first (under the rule called "exhaustion of administrative remedies").

Example: John's father passed away, leaving behind a large estate. John filed a claim for a debt his father owed him, but the executor of the estate rejected the claim, stating that there was no evidence to support it. John protested the rejection, and a judge reviewed the claim and ultimately approved the rejection.

Explanation: This example illustrates how a claim for a debt of a deceased person can be rejected by the executor or administrator of the estate. In this case, the rejection was based on a lack of evidence to support the claim. The claimant then had the opportunity to protest the rejection, and a judge ultimately made the final decision.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
