2117.08 Authentication of claims.

When a claim is presented against the estate of a deceased person, the executor or administrator may require satisfactory written proof in support of it and also the affidavit of the claimant that such claim is justly due, that no payments have been made thereon, and that there are no counterclaims against it to his knowledge. Such affidavit shall set forth any security held for the payment of said claim and, if the claim is not due, the date of maturity. If said claim arises out of tort, or if preference in payment is claimed, the facts in connection with the alleged tort or showing the right to such preference shall be briefly set forth.
