My family probated my father’s estate through the court. We also published a death notice in the newspaper stating that if anyone has a claim against my father’s estate that they had 6 months to file any claim. It has now been 8 months and we have received some new bills in the mail to be paid. Our lawyer told us to write the creditors a letter stating that they would have to petition the court with their claims. I was wondering how I need to word this letter and what information I needed to include. Thanks.

Send a copy of the creditors notice from the newspaper along with information on when the estate was probated and who the executor was.

Heading(to the creditor)

This is to inform you that the estate of the late (person) was probated in the (court) of (county, (state) on (date).
Enclosed is a clipping of the notice , as required by law, posted in the (newspaper name) on (date). As the estate has already been probated your firm will need to file a petition with with the court.
