[WSBAPT] attachment to beneficiary's share of estate for judgement

[Roger Hawkes]

Remember the conflict  rules.  And, yes, I am pretty certain an inheritance can be attached the same way other assets can be attached.  And collection law in Washington allows the courts to make 'special orders' as required.

Subject: [WSBAPT] attachment to beneficiary's share of estate for judgement

Hello,

Has anyone ever successfully made a claim against a beneficiary's share of an estate in favor or another beneficiary where there is a monetary judgement in favor of the beneficiary trying to attach (using that term loosely)?  I have a case where I expect my client can get monetary damages and because my client and the defendant are both beneficiaries in another estate, I have a general idea of the amount that the defendant beneficiary may come into - I'd love to know if any one has any thoughts on my thought on filing a TEDRA in the latter matter to have judgement amounts (if any) paid from beneficiary/defendant's share of estate 2.
