- If you are filing on behalf of a deceased resident, confirm your authority (executor, administrator, or heir) and agree to distribute any payment to all entitled individuals.
Watch out for
- There is no online claim portal — submission must be by mail or email only.
- If filing for a deceased resident, you must establish your legal authority as executor, administrator, or heir before your claim can be accepted.
- Your payout is proportional to how much Shannondell deducted from your entrance fee refund — class members with larger deductions receive larger shares.
- The settlement administrator will issue payments only approximately 60 days after the court resolves any appeals and grants final approval, so payment is not immediate after the deadline.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
