[WSBAPT] Wrongful death apportionment

[Dalynne Singleton]

In a recent seminar with WA Assn of Justice and the new wrongful death statute which took effect end of July, it was recommended that the monies be put into the registry of the court OR you seek mediation to assist with the division.  That way, each party can make their arguments for the monies.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Wrongful death
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.
