This is where I would start:

 

RCW 11.98.039 <http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=11.98.039> 

 

What does the trust say for appointing successor trustees?

 

Cheers,

Dear Trust Gurus:

With the disclaimer that I only get wrapped up in trust law when it crosses with property law, here is a question I am hoping you all can shed some light on.

 

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.

 

I have never done one of these, but it seems as though it would be pretty straightforward after all the required notice provisions. For those of you who have done such a pleading, how does it go and what do I need to do? Some crib forms would be awesome if someone would like to share.

 

Thanks,

Scott Hildebrand
