[WSBAPT] PR removal

[Dalynne Singleton]

Write a succinct letter of what the PR needs to do to get up to speed in the probate.  This goes a long way in front of the court.  Reiterate when you have told the PR to do things in the past, as a reminder.  The PR may agree to do what is necessary or not.

Send a copy of your current fees/costs bill as well.  The sister will be making a motion to remove the PR.  Go through what that requires in your letter to the PR…
The RCW is quite specific.  Then, immediately file your attorney’s lien for fees/costs.
I have had to remove a few PRs and can share motion with your along with attorney lien if you need sample.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Role Confusion

Listies:
I represent the Personal Representative in a standard probate with real property.  The personal representative was appointed but over the past two years has refused to marshall the assets and do what he is supposed to do.  The property nearly went through a tax foreclosure and one of the other heirs saved it.
I have pushed and prompted the PR do get with the program but he has no intention of doing his job because he is living rent free in the decedent's home, his mother's home.  Now the sister has hired an attorney to have the PR replaced unless he gets his job done.  The present PR is upset and wants to fire me.  Of course, the estate owes me a few thousand dollars that the current PR refuses to pay because I do not have a magic bullet for him.
What is a lawyer to do in this situation.  I represent the PR not the man personally.  Do I have to withdraw?
As for the unpaid fees, there must be some sort of billing pleading or lien that I can file to protect my own interest in getting paid.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
