[WSBAPT] Limitations on Powers of PR

[Heather de Vrieze]

Making a specific gift of a piece of real property does not preclude the Personal Representative from obtaining nonintervention powers. Though it is a bit weird if the requirement to distribute it in kind is mentioned in the Personal Representative powers section rather than the gifts/distribution section.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Limitations on Powers of PR

Hello Listmates,
If a will limits a PR's authority to sell a particular asset and instead requires that the asset is transferred to the beneficiary in kind, is there any concern that such a limit will cause the court to deny non-intervention powers generally? (Assuming the will otherwise purports to grant non-intervention powers.)

Setting aside the practical reasons that you might not want to limit the PRs authority, I want to confirm this would not negate a non-intervention probate.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warmly,
Laura
