[WSBAPT] Probate where best candidate for PR has juvenile

Thu Dec 10 10:17:46 PST 2020

This provision of the RCW has always struck me as unduly harsh, and fortunately I have never had to actually deal with it.  I wonder if an understanding commissioner might be convinced to appoint a felon/PR if the heirs and beneficiaries all signed waivers of that provision and urged the court to appoint the felon/PR.

Good morning everyone,

I am assisting a pro bono probate client and just learned they have a
juvenile felony. The decedent died without a will, and there aren't any
other suitable candidates to serve as PR. Have any of you dealt with a
similar situation or have any ideas on options available. The main asset of
the estate is a home that is in default, so time is of the essence.

Respectfully,

Chris Hendry

I would be interested in seeing what others say, but I haven't found a way around a felony conviction in fiduciary appointments, even if it occurred decades ago. Can a professional PR be appointed? Is there any equity in the home that could be used to pay that person/entity's fees?
