[WSBAPT] motion to close estate and distribute funds

[Mike Winslow]

My research on this issue resulted in the conclusion that the Commissioner
or Probate judge is likely to ask why you did not publish. I think absent an
Acceptance of Service or Waiver of Notice from each heir at law and named
beneficiary under the will that the requirement would be enforced.
 
Eric Nelsen will probably give you some detailed legal analysis about how
publication is jurisdictional or some other fancy term, but that's beyond
anything I want to go look up. J (love your posts Eric!).

Subject: [WSBAPT] motion to close estate and distribute funds
 
HI All:
 
For a variety of reasons I am bring a motion to close an estate and
distribute funds. My client is the PR.  I have done so a few time; but I
have never published the hearing date as stated in RCW 11.76.040. 
 
Any thoughts on this statue and if it is being strictly construed?
