[WSBAPT] Sole Heir Has Felony Convictions - Can Heir be PR

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

I think that it is a horrible law - but I have been in Court (remember when
we used to be in person in court to open probates?) and have heard a Judge
tell someone with a petition where the PR was in the exact same position
and their felony conviction was almost 40 years prior. Judge said no, and
yes, it is about the creditors. Though they claim there are none, you won't
know until such time as you have run through the publication and notice
period.
