administrator of the decedent's estate or by any other person legally 
entitled to assert a claim under the applicable State law.

    (e) A claim presented by an agent or legal representative must be 
presented in the name of the claimant, be signed by the agent or legal 
representative, show the title or legal capacity of the person signing, 
and be accompanied by evidence of his or her authority to present a 
claim on behalf of the claimant as agent, executor, administrator, 
parent, guardian, or other representative.
