[WSBAPT] TEDRA Petition

[Marcus Fry]

Jenna:
I believe there was a case on this exact issue that came out a month or two ago.  At this stage, I believe you have to file a request for an accounting first in the probate in response to the notice of completion.  Let me know if my memory is off on this one.

Subject: [WSBAPT] TEDRA Petition

Hello list mates,

I have a client who is an heir to her grandmother's estate.  The grandmother did not have a will.  The attorney for the estate is about to close the probate.  My client believes she is entitled to more than what the personal representative has allotted to her.  She did not accept the check sent to her by the personal representative which was what the estate decided was her share of her grandmother's estate.  It is too late to contact the estate attorney to try to negotiate or request more information.

I plan to file a TEDRA petition to stop the closing of the probate.  Do I also need to set it for a hearing?  Any suggestions as to the proper way to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jenna Brozik
