[WSBAPT] What's In a Name?

[Lisa Schuchman]

I usually use whatever is on the will, if there is one.  If no will I'd look out for the common names and use additional identifying names.

This is a probate reality check.  How many of you usually (or always) use the decedent's full name in the pleadings for a probate?  I've always used the full name but a recent new probate decedent has multiple lengthy middle names.  Decedent always used just one "middle initial."  Would that make a difference?  The problem I can see is confusion with only using middle initials because the decedent's first and last name are fairly common.  Any thoughts?
