[WSBAPT] Personal Rep. with creditor claim

[Marcus Fry]

RCW 11.40.140 states that a PR who has a claim against the decedent needs to file a petition to allow/reject PR's claim under RCW 11.96.080.  If you look at RCW 11.96A.080 (pasted below) it doesn't state that I have to file a separate TEDRA Petition.  Question, can I just file a petition referencing 11.96A.080 or do I need to file a TEDRA Petition with its attendant Summons, etc.?

I assume someone on this listserv has run into this before.  Any insight would be appreciated.

RCW 11.96A.080
Persons entitled to judicial proceedings for declaration of rights or legal relations.
