Claim not included in order of payment. After the accounts of the personal representative have been settled and an order entered for the payment of debts and distribution of the estate, no creditor whose claim was not included in the order for payment has any right to call upon the creditors who have been paid, nor upon the heirs or devisees to contribute to the payment of the claim, but if the personal representative has failed to give the notice to creditors, as prescribed by law, that creditor may recover on the bond of the personal representative the amount for which the claim would properly have been allowed.
