[WSBAPT] Discovery in Probate Proceeding

[Thomas Hackett]

Listmates-

Client is administering an estate, and we are dealing with parties who are
at best not forthcoming. We need to determine what assets the decedent's
held at his death, and potentially review business transactions from the
past few years. At this point, it seems appropriate to use formal discovery
in the probate or some other judicial process to increase the consequences
for the other parties - and get my client the information he needs to
administer the estate. The other parties were decedent's advisors,
including real estate agents and mortgage brokers, and were intimately
familiar with decedent's financials from both "advising" the decedent and
investing in projects with him.

I would greatly appreciate insights into the process for doing formal
discovery processes or TEDRA procedures to get information on a decedent's
assets and prior business dealings.

Thank you in advance for your knowledge and insights.
