[WSBAPT] Referral: Potential Non-Probate Asset Litigation

[Josh Grant]

I don’t see how this could be a “fine”.  I would do a short letter advising that because the claim was not filed on time that you will deny it if it is ever filed.

Yes, we did publish notice on October 16, 2016, so the 4 months has long passed.  I just wondered if there was a statute that might come into play with towing companies and state mandated "fines."  

My thought was a letter to the towing company denying their "informal" claim and outlying the statutory requirement of a creditor when their claim is denied.  Too much?

Thanks!

  Was a notice to creditors published and, if so, when?

  Listmates,

   

  PR receives a bill for towing an "abandoned" vehicle.  After some research by the PR, it turns out the vehicle belonged to the decedent but was stolen some time ago--a stolen vehicle report was filed with the police.  The storage and towing bill exceeds $1000 and continues to climb.

   

  Any thoughts on estate liability? 

   

  Thanks!

    Looking for a referral who can take a client of mine needing to potentially deal with litigation around non-probate assets held by Premera. Decedent committed suicide and died intestate, my client (sister) was named as beneficiary, and the ex-wife of decedent made a stink with the asset administrator and they are now saying they need to file an interpleader to figure out who is entitled to what. I've never faced a situation like this before and my client is freaked out. She could use a bit more of an experienced hand. She's out of state and I'm guessing the interpleader will be filed in King County, though I don't really know. Let me know if you would like to speak with my client.

     

    FYI: we filed an intestate probate due to some curious demand for authorization from Premera, but discovered soon thereafter that they wouldn't require Letters of Administration, so we never moved forward to have the client named PR.

     

    Best,

    David J. Faber
