[WSBAPT] Probate/Non-Probate Notice to Creditors

[Kate Gamble]

Try looking to the trust administration clause to see what powers a
co-trustee can exercise on his/her own.

Subject:  [WSBAPT] Probate/Non-Probate Notice to Creditors

I am considering a situation where a person has died, and everything is in
the person¹s living trust. The living trust has co-trustees ­ with one being
a professional. Query: Can we commence a probate, even for an asset-less
estate, so the PR can file and publish a probate notice to creditors (which
covers, I know, probate and non-probate assets)? The reason for doing this
would be because the professional co-trustee, for whatever reason, may be
balking at using the non-probate notice to creditors process. Alternatively,
I wonder if the sole trustee may be able to file and publish the non-probate
notice on its own ­ especially if the professional co-trustee so delegates
or requests? Any thoughts on this? Things to look at for? Am I making this
harder than it should be?
 
Thanks much, 
 
Jacob Menashe
