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

[Anna Cashman]

Yes, issue of the deceased are heirs and are required to receive notice under RCW 11.28.237.  This is so the four month SOL can run on a will contest. 

An heir is defined as one who would take under the laws of intestacy if the will were proven invalid.

Dear Listmates, in your view do adult children who were specifically disinherited by their father in his last will have the right to be listed as heirs in the petition to open probate and appoint a PR?  Thanks for your counsel.  Yours truly, Douglas Owens
