Can an HOA forclose a property after creditors claim was denied

[Lisa Rains]

I live in my mom's house. My moms HOA filed a creditors claim against my moms estate and it was denied. The HOA is trying to foreclose on the amount that was denied by the courts. Are they allowed to do this? It seems like double jeopardy to me

This would be state specific but generally probate court procedures/rulings have no bearing on civil cases. Double jeopardy only applies to criminal cases. I would bet they have every right to foreclose so I’d figure out how to resolve it.
