[WSBAPT] probate petition where assets unclear

[Katharine P. Bauer]

I often use: " Assets exceed debt by at least $20,000" as a generic
statement of solvency.  No need to put in other details and alert
"observers" as to size of estate.

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.
