[WSBAPT] Administrator unable to obtain bond - has assets

Fri Jan 25 10:49:28 PST 2019

Dalynn, I was able to get bond waived for an administrator in a similar situation (although, granted, it was in Pierce Co.).  Feel free to email me offline if you'd like.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Administrator unable to obtain bond - has assets

I have an administrator ordered to obtain a $5,000 bond before she can have her Letters.  She was unable to get bonded - she is not employed and has had some past credit issues.

There is so little in this estate but she wants to pursue...

I reviewed RCW 11.28.185:  The court may at any time after appointment of the personal representative require said personal representative to give a bond or additional bond, the same to be conditioned and to be approved as provided in this section; or the court may allow a reduction of the bond upon a proper showing.  In lieu of bond, the court may in its discretion, substitute other security or financial arrangements, such as provided under RCW 11.88.105<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.88.105>, or as the court may deem adequate to protect the assets of the estate.

She has $5,000 cash and I am making a motion to place those monies in my trust account - anyone approached the court in a similar fashion?  I have done my research and only found a couple of cases citing this RCW and they were both very odd guardianship situations over 50 years ago...
