[WSBAPT] Escheat and the State

[James W. Spencer]

Greetings Collective:

Has anyone had any experience working with the State in a matter where there are no heirs and no will, and where the PR may assert a large creditor's claim against the estate? The claim, if approved by the court, may wipe out any of the State's interest in decedent's property.

I'm wondering how aggressive the State of Washington gets in situations like these. Any insight would be appreciated so that I can help the client make informed decisions.

Thanks,
James
