Denver Water Department Credit Union v. Estate of Ongaro

The Denver Water Department Credit Union (the Credit Union) appeals the court of appeals decision in In re Estate of Ongaro, 973 P.2d 660 (Colo. App. 1998), affirming the probate courts dismissal of the Credit Unions claim against the estate (Estate) of Veronica Ongaro (Decedent). We granted certiorari to determine whether the court of appeals erred by determining that the Credit Unions claim against the Estate is barred because the Credit Union failed to comply with the reasonable notice and proper presentation requirements of section 15-12-803(1)(a)(III), 5 C.R.S. (1999). We now affirm the court of appeals decision.
