[WSBAPT] allocation of settlement

[Krista MacLaren]

Hi Folks,

I am wondering if you know the statute of limitations on disputing allocation of settlement funds in the context of a probate and RCW 4.20.020.  

For example, surviving spouse would have received all of estate under laws of intestacy, because it was all community property, but there was a wrongful death claim that was settled without suit, with no discussion about whether the 4 adult children should receive any share of the settlement.  

Three of the adult kids are big advocates of their mom and want her to have it all.  The other kid has many problems, is somewhat estranged, and a wild card.  It seems potentially safer to not pursue a TEDRA with that child, but if they kept it quiet, when would they be home free as to the problem child?

I appreciate any insight you have!

Krista
