Section 19104 Of Chapter 5. Time For Filing Claims From California Probate Code >> Division 9. >> Part 8. >> Chapter 5.
19104
. (a) Subject to subdivision (b), if a claim is filed within
the time provided in this chapter, the creditor may later amend or
revise the claim. The amendment or revision shall be filed in the
same manner as the claim.
(b) An amendment or revision may not be made to increase the
amount of the claim after the time for filing a claim has expired. An
amendment or revision to specify the amount of a claim that, at the
time of filing, was not due, was contingent, or was not yet
ascertainable, is not an increase in the amount of the claim within
the meaning of this subdivision. An amendment or revision of a claim
may not be made for any purpose after the earlier of the following
times:
(1) The time the court makes an order approving settlement of the
claim against the deceased settlor under Chapter 2 (commencing with
Section 19020).
(2) One year after the date of the first publication of notice to
creditors under Section 19040. Nothing in this paragraph authorizes
allowance or approval of a claim barred by, or extends the time
provided in, Section 366.2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
