[WSBAPT] Spying on Conversation

[Josh Grant]

It is a criminal violation in Washington State to tape without consent.  I would call the police.

Greetings List - 

 

I just had a non-beneficiary family member send me an email detailing his rebuttal and defense to a conversation that I had with an Executor in their own home.  I reached out to my Executor and asked if she had spoken with this person - they said no. 

 

What we have a situation where I traveled to the Executor's home and the conversation - without my knowledge or consent - was recorded in both video (which I saw) but also audio. It is clear that this family member has set up a comprehensive recording system in the Executor's home without even having their knowledge or consent. 

 

Any advice (other than call the police)?
