[WSBAPT] Creditor's Claim Against an Estate Passing Through a Revocable Living Trust

Hi all, 

I am intrigued by this issue. I read some suggestions that the creditor could open probate…I was wondering why not we just bring a TEDRA action under RCW 11.96A?

11.96A.080 provides that "any party" may have a judicial proceeding for the declaration of rights or legal relations with respect to any “manner"…as provided under 11.96A.030..

11.96A.030 provides that “party” includes creditors and “matters” include any "nonprobate assets", and “nonprobate assets” is defined by 11.02.005 as "trust of which the person is grantor and that becomes effective or irrevocable only upon the person's death”..

Would it be easier to just bring a TEDRA petition in the Estate’s name and serve the Trustee? Problem I can see is how do you find who the Trustee is if you don’t have a copy of the trust document...


Sincerely,

> I am one of the attorneys that asked the question.  First, to answer your questions about trusts, RCW 19.36.020 answers the question.  We do not have self-settled protection trust laws (there is about 15 states that do however).  You place your assets into a trust for your use and benefit, such assets will be available to creditors.  Second, I think the probate route is a good idea if you are unsure there is a trust because you get a personal representative appointed who then has authority to look into the affairs of the decedent and obtain trust documents, etc.  My situation was a little different as I knew there is a trust and I also knew that the trust owns assets, in my case real estate.  My question was whether I could just take legal action against the trust as a creditor of the decedent without having to go the probate route first because I am aware of the existence of the trust and the assets held by the trust.  I think I can because the trust continues in existence !

There are past due fees and dues - we've approached the company about what would essentially be a deed in lieu of foreclosure but the only person with that authority is on family leave.  So the PR is ready to try to sell it.  Anyone want to buy it?  Just kidding!  Does anyone know a trustworthy sale company for this?

> Assuming that the creditor's claim is against the decedent (and not directly against her revocable living trust, which would be very unusual), the creditor needs to follow normal probate procedures. If no probate is opened and no notice agent appointed, I agree with Marcus that the creditor's only option would be to open a probate, or at least threaten to do so.
> Once a claim has been allowed, the assets held in the revocable living trust are available to satisfy the claim, as provided in RCW 11.18.200 (2)(e):
> A trust for the decedent's use of which the decedent is the grantor is subject to the decedent's liabilities, claims, estate taxes, and administration expenses as described in subsection (1) of this section, to the same extent as the trust was subject to claims of the decedent's creditors immediately before death under RCW 19.36.020<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.36.020>.

> A client is attempting to acquire a property that is in the name of a family
> trust. The trustor has passed as has the personal representative for the
> trustor's estate. The pr's pr is still around and has been the point on this
> so far. Because the family trust owns the property, the title insurer is
> asking that we do a petition naming an alternate trustee for the trust,
> which would be the pr's pr in all likelihood.

> crib forms would be awesome if someone would like to share.
