[WSBAPT] Wrongful death apportionment

[John Keckemet]

I am looking for someone to represent the adult children of a decedent.  Decedent died as the result of an accident.  The estate sued the driver and rec'd a large recovery.  Probate counsel is proposing a 90/10 split between surviving spouse/stepmother and the adult children. Does anyone have experience in determining and negotiating the apportionment?  Any recommendations?  Thanks.
