[WSBAPT] voluntary dismissal of probate

Wed Sep 1 17:29:36 PDT 2021

Did you open so that the monies could be gotten from the PI settlement?
You need to do what the minimum requirements in a probate are for WA before you dismiss if the PR used her authority given by the Letters/court in any way.
If no monies came to the Estate from the PI settlement, then you can close by stipulation and order signed by the Court.
I can provide a sample if you need one.

Subject: [WSBAPT] voluntary dismissal of probate

How does one go about voluntarily dismissing a probate?  Details/context:  It was filed recently-PR appointed, letters issued-but that's all.  No appearances.  Intestate.  Sole asset a chose in action (decedent died while her PI claim was pending).  PR is decedent's mother.  No spouse or kids.

Is there any reason I can't just voluntarily dismiss under CR 41?
