1. ““When a claim is rejected either by the executor or administrator, or the judge of the county court, the holder must bring suit in the proper court, according to its amount, against the executor or administrator, within three months after the date of its rejection, if it be then due, or within two months after it becomes due, otherwise the claim is forever barred.””

2. ““The question of jurisdiction is primary and fundamental in every case and cannot be waived by the parties or overlooked by the court. It is the bounden duty of the court to examine into its jurisdiction, whether raised by any party or not, and sua sponte to determine its own jurisdiction.” Hamilton v. Browder, 176 Okla. 229 , 54 P.2d 1025 ; Spivey & McGill v. Nixon. 163 Okla. 278 , 21 P. 2d 1049 , and cases cited therein.”

3. “"In the event a claim filed against the estate of a decedent is disallowed by either the administrator, executor, or county judge, the remedy to establish the rejected claim is not by appeal, but by an independent action and judgment against the personal representative of the estate in a court of competent jurisdiction."”
