No. Wyoming publishes no statewide notice form. Wyoming requires the personal representative to publish the notice, and the statute names what the published notice must contain, so the notice is drafted to those elements and prints with a checklist of them.

The creditor claim period of 3 months runs from the first publication of the creditor notice, which follows the executor's appointment.

Claims are presented to the court in which the estate is pending. The address in the notice is the one claims go to, so it is the representative's own, or the court's, as the statute directs.

Yes. Wyoming requires written notice to every known or reasonably ascertainable creditor within 60 days of first publication. A creditor who is mailed the notice must present the claim within three (3) months after the date of first publication of the notice in the newspaper, or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice, whichever date is later. A mailed notice for each known creditor is part of the packet.

Once a week for 3 consecutive weeks, in the statute's terms: Notice must run in a daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the probate is pending. Wyoming requires the publisher's affidavit of publication to be filed with the court; the newspaper provides it after the final run. The Wyoming creditor claims tool sets the publication beside the claim deadline and the payment order.
