[WSBAPT] disinherited children under will entitled to be listed as heirs in petition to open probate and appoint PR

[Rich McEntee]

I think that by statute they must be included in the list of heirs and provided notice of the pendency of the probate. As a practical matter, of all the persons who would be interested in their right to challenge the validity of a will or any of its provisions, it seems a disinherited child would be near the top of the list.
