In one sentenceRule 73.13 keeps the probate court’s file current on creditors’ claims: a fiduciary who rejects a claim filed with the court must file a copy of the rejection, and any hearing on claims or insolvency requires a schedule of every claim against the estate.
(A)When a claim has been filed with the court pursuant to section 2117.06 of the Revised Code, the fiduciary shall file a copy of any rejection of the claim with the court.
(B)If the court requires a hearing on claims or the fiduciary requests a hearing on claims or insolvency, the fiduciary shall file a schedule of all claims against the estate with the court. The schedule of claims shall be filed with the fiduciary’s application for hearing or within ten days after the court notifies the fiduciary of a court-initiated hearing.

Plain-English Summary
Division (A) applies when a claim has been filed with the court under R.C. 2117.06. If the fiduciary rejects it, the fiduciary must file a copy of the rejection with the court, so the court’s record shows where each filed claim stands.
Division (B) applies when there will be a hearing on claims, whether the court requires one or the fiduciary requests a hearing on claims or insolvency. The fiduciary must file a schedule of all claims against the estate — with the application for a hearing, or, when the court sets the hearing on its own, within ten days after the court notifies the fiduciary.
