R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-11-22: Estate rendered insolvent by late claims.

If a personal representative pays, under the provisions of § 33-11-19, so much of the estate of the decedent that the remainder is insufficient to satisfy the claims presented after the expiration of the six (6) month period, and any of said late claims are disallowed, the personal representative may represent the estate insolvent, and shall, pursuant to decree of the probate court, divide and pay over the remaining estate among the creditors entitled to payment.
