[WSBAPT] Court order to close nonintervention estate - Clark County

[Dalynne Singleton]

You do not need to note for hearing as you do in intervention probates.

Prepare and file the Declaration of Completion, Declaration of Compliance, Declaration of Mailing and Notice.  File these and send to all heirs/beneficiaries.  In 30 days, estate is closed and Administrator/PR discharged unless someone objects by filing an objection with the court.  If an objection is filed, you will need to note for hearing the closing of the estate based on your pleadings.  In 15 years, I've never had an objection filed within the time limits but it does happen because I've seen several Court of Appeals decisions where objections were made.

If you want sample pleadings, email me privately and I'll send to you.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Court order to close nonintervention estate - Clark County

Colleagues:

Looking for guidance on procedure to close a nonintervention estate in Clark County through court order.  PR was granted nonintervention powers; the estate is now ready to be closed.  Distributions have been made, but one heir has not cashed the distribution check nor signed and returned the Waiver of Notice of Filing Declaration of Completion of Probate and Receipt (mailed to the heir at the beginning of this month).  Not sure if the heir intends to dispute the inventory, accounting, or overall administration, but no action has been taken yet by this heir.

The exact procedure to close a nonintervention estate by court order in RCW 11.68.100 and the Probate Deskbook are not 100% clear to me.  Do you follow the procedures for closing an estate without nonintervention powers?  Can anyone provide a sample of the motion/petition for an order closing a nonintervention estate?

Your guidance and assistance are greatly appreciated.
