[WSBAPT] notify DSHS

[Eric Nelsen]

If you started the probate and sent notice to DSHS (with decedent’s SSN, which is required per RCW 11.40.020(1)(d) as to Notice to Creditors so I do the same under RCW 11.28.237 even though it doesn’t have that same express requirement), there’s nothing further to do with them. They will file a creditor’s claim or take other action if there is any money owing by the decedent.

Note that PR is also required to send Notice of Appointment to Dept of Revenue in addition to DSHS. See RCW 11.28.238.

Sincerely,

Eric

All,

My first more complicated estate and I am filled with questions. The estate is worth well over $100,000, so I sent the Notice of Appointment to DSHS. This is where my deskbook and the State website stop providing any information about what to do.

I have heard nothing back from DSHS. What is my next step?

Thank you in advance for your help,
