[WSBAPT] WSBAPT Digest, Vol 78, Issue 12

[Roger Hawkes]

So..with increasing bio heirs popping up because of dna services, would it work to disinherit all such heirs even without names and any knowledge?  Something like "I specifically disinherit any biological heirs of mine who I have not mentioned in this Will, especially those I have never known."

Jeff,

All intestate heirs must be listed in the Petition and given notice.  They have standing to challenge the validity of a Will that disinherits them; the
4 month statute of limitations to do so only starts when they are given
notice of the probate proceeding.   Listing them in the Petition as
disinherited but intestate heirs, is an allegation of such by your client.
That allegation becomes res judicata, claims preclusion only if they are alleged and given notice.  See In re Little, 127 Wn App 915, 113 P 3rd 505 (Div 1, 2005).
