WHEN CLAIMS BARRED (§ 6.2-923)

After the lapse of six months from the date of the last publication of the
notice prescribed by § 6.2-920, 6.2-921, or 6.2-922, the court shall enter an
order barring the claims of all creditors who have not theretofore applied for
payment of their claims. Thereafter, (i) no creditor who failed to apply for
payment within such period shall bring or maintain any action, suit, or
proceeding and (ii) no process shall issue, for the enforcement of any claim to
dividends or payments previously ordered paid to such creditor. In addition, no
such creditor shall participate in future dividends or payments thereafter
ordered in the suit or petition to be paid. The court in which any such suit or
petition is pending may, in its discretion, before final distribution and for
good cause shown, reinstate any claim barred pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this section.
