865.17 Liability of distributees to claimants.

No distributee shall be liable to claimants for amounts in excess of the value of the distributee’s distribution as of the time of distribution. As among distributees, each shall bear the cost of satisfaction of unbarred claims as if the claim had been satisfied in the course of administration.
