KRS 396.035 states in part that “[n]o action shall be brought against a personal representative on a claim against decedent’s estate unless the claimant shall have first presented his claim [to the personal representative] in the manner described in KRS 396.015.” The precursor to this statute, Ky. St. § 3872, in effect in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was very similar, the pertinent part of which stated: “[N]o action shall be brought or recovery had on any demand ... until demand of payment thereof has been made of the personal representative, accompanied by the required affidavit.” Kentucky’s case law interpreting this former statute supports our conclusion that appellees’ claims were not subject to formal presentation in the first place.
