[WSBAPT] Filing a TRO against the Administrator of the Estate

[Nicholas Pleasants]

Hi Michael,
There is a new option for presenting orders in King County called “Orders for Review”. This is how you a get a TRO now. It’s in e-filing just below Start a New Case. Then select King County Ex Parte for your order. A bit confusing, but it worked for me on a VAPO earlier this week. I would have included a screenshot, but KingCounty.gov is not very functional today.
Best,
Nick

Subject: [WSBAPT] Filing a TRO against the Administrator of the Estate

Hello Probate Gurus,

I need to file a temporary restraining order against the administrator of the estate in King County.  As there is no assigned judge, and after checking the rules, I had understood that it should ex-parte, however the clerk rejected the presentment stating it could not go ex-parte via the Clerk.

Can anyone who has had to negotiate through the labyrinth of filing procedures and point me the right direction?  I’ve reviewed the ex-parte probate page on the courts website and I’m now even more confused and less certain how to submit this.  Does a hearing get noted and does this go through e-working copies?  That wouldn’t make sense since this is a TRO and there would be a return hearing.

I appreciate your guidance – thanks!

Warmest regards,

Michael S. Safren, Esq.
