[WSBAPT] TEDRA Petition

[Richard Wills]

*She should have received a Notice of Filing of Decl of Completion, 
giving her 30 days to file a request with the Court to review fees & 
order an accounting.  It seems to me that all that your client may need 
is an accounting, showing an initial inventory of assets, an accounting 
of income & expense, & a list of resulting assets on hand for 
distribution.  If so, simply filing a request for the Court to review 
fees & order an accounting & mailing a copy of it to the PR's attorney 
might suffice --- a lot simpler (& less expensive) than a TEDRA Petition 
(assuming you're still within the**30-day period).*
*
**The attorney may have simply sent a Decl of Completion, the check, & a 
Receipt & Waiver for your client to sign & return.  If so, I'd return 
the check & ask for fee statements & an accounting.*
