Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 2-7-716

Stay of probate proceedings pending final disposition of claims and litigation

Known as the Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act

The act spans §§ 2–2 (29 sections).

Pending final adjudication of all claims and litigation as to which claims have been timely filed, the personal representative shall proceed with the administration of the estate to the extent possible without prejudicing the possible rights of creditors, but the estate shall not be closed and no payment of claims or distributions to distributees shall be made which would impair the ability of the estate to honor the claims as finally adjudicated, in accordance with their priority. The personal representative may obtain extensions of time in which to file tax returns and pay taxes, and incur interest charges with respect to the payment of those taxes, until all claims, the payment of which would affect the amount of the taxes due, and litigation is adjudicated.
