N.D. Cent. Code § 30.1-19-11
in effect30.1-19-11. (3-811) Counterclaims
In allowing a claim the personal representative may deduct any counterclaim which the
estate has against the claimant. In determining a claim against an estate, a court shall reduce
the amount allowed by the amount of any counterclaims and, if the counterclaims exceed the
claim, render a judgment against the claimant in the amount of the excess. A counterclaim,
liquidated or unliquidated, may arise from a transaction other than that upon which the claim is
based. A counterclaim may give rise to relief exceeding in amount or different in kind from that
sought in the claim.
