[WSBAPT] Pierce County - efile to reopen administratively closed Estate?

[Brink, Kerry]

You might want to call the clerk at the department that closed the
probate. It seems different judges have different approaches. Recently,
one of the newer judges  required that we file a petition and note the
reopening on the Friday morning motion docket. Others have permitted us to
send an order  along with the petition and the judge will sign the order
reopening the probate in Chambers. 
The clerk of the judicial department should be able to let you know. 
I don't think the commissioners will sign a reopening order when the judge
has closed the probate.

Eric,

 

In my experience, you can’t open up anything in person, but I have never
tried to re-open a closed probate in Pierce County in the past few years.

 

Regards, 

 

        Tom

I have a Pierce County probate that was administratively closed--that is,
a couple years ago, no one showed up to a review hearing so the court
closed the file. I am now requesting re-opening by petition.

 

Can I submit the petition to Ex Parte via the clerk online through LINX?
Or do I have to show up in person? Anyone know?

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric C. Nelsen
