Ark. Code § 28-53-111
Current with legislation from 2024 effective through May 3, 2024.
When a distributee of an estate is indebted to the estate, the amount of the indebtedness if due, or the present worth of the indebtedness, if not due, may be treated as an offset by the personal representative against any real or personal property of the estate to which the distributee is entitled. However, the distributee shall be entitled to the benefit of any defense which would be available to him or her in a direct proceeding for the recovery of the debt.
