[WSBAPT] Issance of Letters after 30 day notice

[Peterson, Eileen]

Our Court (Pierce) seems to have taken the position that a Personal
Representative is discharged 30 days after we send out the Declaration of
Completion.  As a result, the Clerk will not issue updated letters (as
many financial institutions require) if the 30 days have passed.  The
remedy provided involves the reopening of the probate.   

This is a different position than in the past 25 years.  Is this occurring
in other counties?

Thanks, Eileen
