[WSBAPT] probate petition where assets unclear

[Melinda Grout]

Happy Monday.

Petition to open probate would normally recite:  Estate includes:   Real property $ X, Personal Property $ X.   

However PR does not yet know enough to provide even an estimate of value of estate (although PR is quite certain estate is solvent).   Therefore, a statement in the Petition, declared under penalty of perjury, that “Petitioner does not currently know the value of the probate estate, but believes, subject to further information, that assets including both real and personal property exceed liabilities” did not fly with the commissioner.  

How would one handle this instead?
