How secured claims are paid in probate
This section explains how a creditor with collateral (a secured claim) gets paid from an estate. If the creditor gives up the collateral, they get the full allowed amount. Otherwise, payment depends on whether they sell the collateral or not.

The statute, as written — Secured claims
Payment of a secured claim is upon the basis of the amount allowed if the creditor surrenders the creditor's security; otherwise payment is upon the basis of one of the following: (1) If the creditor exhausts the creditor's security before receiving payment, unless precluded by other law upon the amount of the claim allowed less the fair value of the security; or (2) If the creditor does not have the right to exhaust the security or has not done so, upon the amount of the claim allowed less the value of the security determined by converting it into money according to the terms of the agreement pursuant to which the security was delivered to the creditor, or by the creditor and personal representative by agreement, arbitration, compromise or litigation.
