[WSBAPT] Judgement - insolvent estate

[michael westseattleattorney.com]

Married couple with Wills and CPA.  H gets a Judgement against him. H dies and W does not probate will but has a CPA. W dies and heirs open probate and try to sell real property only to find a Judgement against H. Judgement would make estate insolvent.
Two questions come to mind.
1. Doesn't Judgement attach only to H's share?  Does a probate need to be opened for H's estate?
2. Can W 's PR simply request Judgement debtor reduce Judgement to H's share at time of H's death?
Thanks Mike
