[WSBAPT] Probate GAL for Minor Beneficiary?

[Tom Stuen]

Jim:  RCW 11.76.080 requires appointment for a minor in most situations
(11.68.100 and 11.76.50), unless the surviving spouse is the sole
beneficiary.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Probate GAL for Minor Beneficiary?

 

Can anyone point me to the rule or statute regarding the need for
appointment of a probate GAL for a minor Beneficiary?

 

Personal Rep is petitioning the court to redirect payable on death (to the
minor child) assets to the minor trust (for the benefit of the same minor
child) he created in his LWT.

 

Our legal basis is (1) abatement and (2) mistake.

 

I believe that a GAL is appropriate, but I am having trouble finding the
applicable SPR rule or RCW.

 

Anyone still online this afternoon?

 

Thanks,

 

Jim Dolan
