[WSBAPT] Appointing PR named in Will and PR Spouse not named

[Tom J. Westbrook]

This is a first for me. LWT appointed a non-family member as PR and did
not name spouse as PR for community assets of which there are plenty.
Spouse does not want to decline nor does named PR. Both are willing to do
Co-PR and to sign informed consent conflict letter to have me represent
them in the Probate. Aside from the obvious pitfall of representing these
joint PRs, do any of you have advice on setting up the Petition to admit
Will and appoint the PRs? Should one PR be solely in charge of decedent’s
separate property and the other in charge of community and if so, are the
really Co-PRs or ?????? And then, what special language is used for the
Letters Testamentary since one is named in Will and the other is
authorized (entitled) as a creature of statute?

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom
