Request a proof of claim in a probate proceeding

 

Creditors, including the IRS, can file detailed claims against the estate of a deceased person in probate court. An estate administrator is responsible for contacting creditors who may have a proof of claim.

Filing a proof of claim is a time sensitive matter and different courts administer probate proceedings with different deadlines.

Send your request for a proof of claim to the IRS Collection Advisory group in the area of the last address of the deceased. See Publication 4235, Collection Advisory Offices Contact Information PDF.
