1Opinion of the Court
AMDAHL, Chief Justice.
We must determine whether a letter, written by respondents Basil and Gladys Peterson to the attorney for decedent Roger Lehman’s estate, constituted presentment of a claim against the estate under Minn.Stat. § 524.3-804(1) (1982). The trial court found that no claim was made by the Petersons’ letter. The Court of Appeals disagreed and reversed, finding that the Petersons’ letter did constitute a properly presented claim. 348 N.W.2d 814. We must decide whether the letter did present a claim against the estate and, if so, whether that claim was allowed. We affirm.
