A claim can be "presented" by commencing an action against the personal representative within the time for presenting a claim. See SDCL 29A-3-804(a)(2).
     The time limitations specified in SDCL 29A-3-803 do not apply to liability claims against the decedent or the personal representative to the extent that they are "protected by liability insurance," or any proceeding to enforce any mortgage, pledge, or other lien upon property of the estate.
