In determining a claim against an estate, a court shall reduce the amount allowed by the amount of any counterclaims and, if the counterclaims exceed the claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the amount of the excess. A counterclaim, liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction other than that upon which the claim is based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief exceeding in amount or different in kind from that sought in the claim.","path":["Title 14: Decedents Estates and Fiduciary Relations","Chapter 066: Settlement of Claims"],"source_url":"https://legislature.vermont.gov/statutes/section/14/066/01211","current_through":"2025 session","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T17:16:59Z","sha256":"615e735e5a0c83dfacef19e896b619c63b9679f1feb321fde5ae827563336d76","source_id":"us-vt","stale":false,"prev":"us-vt/14-v.s.a.-1210","next":"us-vt/14-v.s.a.-1212"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
