KRS 396.055(1) begins with the following language: “As to claims presented in the manner described in KRS 396.015 of this Act within the time limit prescribed in KRS S96.011_” Given this language, we believe the claims addressed in KRS 396.055 are those filed pursuant to KRS 396.011, either because they arose before the decedent’s death and necessarily had to be filed in accordance with KRS 396.011, or because they were otherwise filed within six (6) months of the appointment of the executor. As we stated earlier, appellees’ claims did not arise before Margaret’s death, nor were they even capable of being filed within six (6) months of Batson’s appointment, considering the cause of action had not yet accrued within that time frame. Thus, KRS 396.055(1) could not have barred appellees’ claims even if they had been subject to Chapter 396.
