[WSBAPT] Snoh Co CR41(b)(2) closing of probate

[Melinda Grout]

Snohomish County Clerk sends Clerks Notice of Closure for Want of Prosecution routinely when no action filed in a probate for over a year.  

Does  this effectively close the probate, even without a Declaration of Completion on the part of the PR?

Client PR finally sold the RE that was holding up closing probate, for no net gain, and has no further funds to pay to appropriately close the Nonintervention probate as we normally would.  I would suspect there are risks to not closing normally, but I would be happy for my client if she could just let it close automatically by the Court, by the clerk’s CMCWP action…

Thoughts?
