[WSBAPT] Change of Venue of Probate

[Diane J. Kiepe]

Under the RCWs, the PR can elect any Superior court.  I’ve opened many times I for convenience.  While you could file a TEDRA, I would expect it will be difficult to relocate if the PR is working with counsel in Pierce County.  I’d be interested in hearing what you come too.

Listmates,

I’m looking to move  a probate from Pierce County to King.

Decedent was a King County resident with no ties to Pierce, and it appears that the probate was filed in Pierce County to accommodate the PR’s attorney.  Four months have already passed (11.96A.050(8).

PR’s attorney is not willing to change venue.

Would this require a TEDRA petition or just a motion in the probate?
