[WSBAPT] Notice to creditors outside probate

[Lovie Bernardi]

Timothy,

Is there a will? If so, it must be filed with the court having jurisdiction (RCW 11.20.010). You pay a $10 will only filing fee and receive a superior court cause number. Use that cause number on your notice to creditors. No need for a $240 filing fee.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Notice to creditors outside probate

All,

I have a case where a Trust distributes all the decedent's property, so probate is not needed. Client still wants to do a notice to creditors, and I see RCW 11.42.020 allows us to do so outside of probate. However, my question is, practically speaking, how to get that filed with court? Is it filed under an estate or maybe a TEDRA cause number? Should I just ask the particular court for their process (It would be in Skagit County Superior Court)?

Thanks,

Timothy C. Lehr
Attorney at Law
