Syllabus

<p>Estates of Deceased Persons—Maturity of Note and Mortgage after Death—Statute of Limitations—Presentation of Claim.—The general rule is that the statute of limitations does not begin to run when no administration exists on the decedent’s estate at the time the cause of action accrued; and where a note and mortgage were not mature at the date of the death of the mortgagor, they are not barred by the statute of limitations, although letters of administration were not issued until more than four years after the maturity of the note and mortgage; and a claim for the note and mortgage presented to the administrator promptly upon the publication of notice to creditors is properly allowed.</p>
