California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Segovia v. Superior Court, 127 Cal.Rptr. 501, 55 Cal.App.3d 464 (Cal. App. 1976):
It is, of course, the general rule that "all claims against the estate of a decedent arising upon contract must be filed or presented within the time prescribed in the published notice to creditors, and if not so filed or presented they are forever barred." (Nathanson v. Superior Court, 12 Cal.3d 355, 362, 115 Cal.Rptr. 783, 787, 525 P.2d 687, 691, and see the authority there collected.)
