IRAs



Sorry if this is duplicative--tried to send this out yesterday, but I don't
think it went through.  Either that, or had no takers, lol.



I am the PR of a King County intestate estate where the intestate heir is a
minor and a resident of California.  A guardian will be necessary to claim
two small IRA accounts (less than $40k), of which the minor is the named
beneficiary.  I am of the opinion that the King County Superior Court does
not have jurisdiction over the California child sufficient to appoint a
guardian for him here.  Can someone prove me wrong?  Does the child's
parent have any authority to consent to the King County court's
jurisdiction over her teenage child?  If so, what is that authority?



And practically, is it even feasible for the Court to appoint a person or
entity in WA as guardian for an individual in another state?



In the alternative, can someone recommend a guardianship attorney in or
near Alameda County, CA?



Thanks in advance for your input.



Elizabeth
