[WSBAPT] Probate Notice to Known Creditors: IRS

[Martin Silver]

Not to kick up more dust, but I use certified mailing , return receipt
requested when I file tax court petitions or DOR appeals because the rule
is timely mailing is timely filing as to a jurisdictional matter, and I
would rather deal with that issue with a postal stamp showing date of
mailing than my own affidavit.  I guess if it came down to proof I would
probably have to do  a declaration anyway saying I got this stamped at the
post office.

Why ‘certified return receipt’ when the statue clearly calls for
‘first-class mail, postage prepaid’? I too tend to send a letter, then
when they say they didn’t get notice, I have a letter with a date on it,
addressed to them that I can send, along with my affidavit of diligence.
The letter doesn’t say much, only calls out some of the information buried
in the Notice, usually some variation of:

“This office represents the above-noted estate.  NAME OF DECEASED died on
DATE.  The Decedent's Will was admitted to probate under the above-noted
cause number, and NAME OF PR was appointed the Personal Representative.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you direct notice of the
decedent’s death

 

In accordance with the enclosed Notice, a claim must be served and filed
in a timely manner, as provided under state law, in order to make a valid
claim as a creditor of the Estate.”
