Frequently Asked Questions
Does a claimant automatically get a hearing before a claim is decided?
The rule says the court “may” hold a hearing upon due notice to the claimant; it is not stated as automatic in every case.
Is the court's decision on a claim after a hearing appealable?
Yes. The decision is final, subject to appeal, once the court rules on the claim.
How does this section relate to the claim allowance process in Section 21-8?
Section 21-8 sets the process and deadlines for presenting and disputing claims, while Section 21-10 gives the court authority to hold a hearing on a claimant’s claim before ruling on it.
