[WSBAPT] Intestate estate with felon as only heir at law

[David Faber]

I've been contacted by a person with a felony conviction whose mother has
recently died. Mother was widowed and the felon is decedent's only
heir-at-law. I understand that RCW 11.36.010. We're trying to find the
easiest and least-expensive means of proceeding here so that the felon can
receive title to the family home. The felon's NA sponsor's daughter, who is
an adult and has no criminal record, is willing to be appointed. My thought
is we could enter into a TEDRA explaining the situation and requesting the
NA sponsor's daughter be appointed, but I don't see any specific authority
in RCW 11 that expressly allows for this kind of scenario, but it seems
that the clause at the end of RCW 11.28.120 ". . . or any suitable person
to administer such estate." might be the umbrella under which I find my
answer. I just don't want to run through the process of drafting up
documents if I'm missing an alternative approach that is more applicable
and straight-forward. Any thoughts on the method I suggest?

Best,
