[WSBAPT] Client unreachable

[Paul Neumiller]

I don’t understand.  Jennifer is doing a non-probate creditor’s notice procedure.  There is no court case to withdraw from.  How does she bring a motion when there is no case?

In similar situations I have brought a motion to withdraw and approve my fees.  That way when someone comes along to finish the probate there is a record of what happened and no argument about the fees.

Thanks,

Would I need court approval to withdraw?

 I have the same situation with the exception that probate was opened. My client (the PR) seems to have disappeared, and I am in a quandary as to how to proceed.

At some point I think I will have to withdraw, and then place a lien on the real property asset to secure my fees.

I have (had) a client whose son passed away. Probate was not opened, but I filed and published nonprobate creditor’s notice and received numerous claims from various creditors. I have contacted her multiple times (including email and mail) but have not heard anything from her for several months. The creditors want to settle their balances, but I am not sure what to do when the client is not reachable. Any thoughts on the best course of action? (Are there steps to withdrawing in this type of situation?)

Thanks.
