Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 396

After assets of an estate have been distributed and subject to KRS 396.205, an

undischarged claim not barred may be prosecuted in a proceeding against one (1) or more

distributees. No distributee shall be liable to claimants for amounts received as exempt

property or allowances, or for amounts in excess of the value of his distribution as of the

time of distribution. As between distributees, each shall bear the cost of satisfaction of

unbarred claims as if the claim had been satisfied in the course of admin istration. Any

distributee who shall have failed to notify other distributees of the demand made upon

him by the claimant in sufficient time to permit them to join in any proceeding in which

the claim was asserted against him loses his right of contributio n against other

distributees who have not been notified.
