§58-351.
   
   If the personal representative is a creditor of the decedent, his
   claim must be presented for allowance or rejection to the judge of the
   district court not later than the presentment date as provided in the
   notice, and its allowance by the judge is sufficient evidence of its
   correctness, and it must be paid as other claims, in due course of
   administration. If, however, the judge rejects the claim, action
   thereon may be had against the estate by the claimant, and summons
   must be served upon the judge of the district court, who may appoint
   an attorney at the expense of the estate, to defend the action. If the
   claimant recover no judgment, he must pay all costs, including
   defendant's attorney's fee.
