Inquiry into correctness; liability on bond
Sec. 11. Before allowing or paying claims against the estate he
represents, it shall be the duty of every personal representative to
inquire into the correctness of all claims against the estate and make
all available defenses thereto, and if he fails so to do, he shall be
liable on his bond, at the suit of any person interested in the estate,
for all damages sustained by the estate in consequence of such
neglect.
