A: You can ask for additional substantiation of the claim.

You can also reject the claim, but you need a reason for the rejection.

Rejecting the claim allows the creditor to sue on the claim.

A: If the claim is rejected, creditors may sue the estate to obtain payment, which can cause much delay and expense. Use DE-174.
