Subject: [WSBAPT] GAL to be appointed for minor in petition for
openingintestate probate

 

I am being appointed administrator for a deceased, young 23 year old
defendant in a personal injury action.  There is appropriate insurance
to cover the deceased defendant and injuries caused.  The problem is,
there was a minor child who is now living with the grandparents.  They
want nothing to do with the probate/estate b/c their daughter had
nothing.

 

Is there a separate petition to appoint the GAL for the minor child when
opening a probate for the deceased parent.  There was a big battle over
custody and the father of the child, who lost parental rights.  RCW
11.88 appears to allow exception to appointment but only if I can find
someone who is the legal guardian.  The grandparents do not want to be
involved in this probate.  I believe there will be creditor's claims due
to the deceased 23 year old died of cancer and was living at home with
her parents and her child.

 

Any assistance on how to proceed would be nice.

It is a Kitsap County case.

 

P.S.  I am at the Title 11 GAL training for the next 2 days.  This topic
does not appear to be on the agenda.
