PROCEDURE TO QUESTION CLAIM OF CREDITOR (§ 8.01-525.3)

Any creditor of the assignor who questions the validity of any other
creditor&#8217;s claim, or the trustee if he questions the validity of any
claim, may file, within 30 days after the recordation of the deed, a petition
against the creditor whose claim is questioned in the court that would have
jurisdiction if the action was brought by the creditor whose claim is questioned
against the assignor, and the burden of proof shall be upon the creditor whose
claim is questioned. Upon the filing of such petition, the court may order the
party whose claim is questioned to appear to defend such claim and the court
shall determine the matter in a summary way.
