Subject: [WSBAPT] Probate Question

Happy Labor Day:

My client is a beneficiary under a Will that is in probate.  I am going to put in a Notice of Appearance on her behalf.

What is the right pleading to give the PR notice that my client demands to be notified before a distribution of the estate assets, primarily the proceeds from the sale of the deceased’s real property?

We don’t want to provoke a fight but we are a little bit skeptical about how the PR is going to balance out the distribution between four children.  We don’t want to set a hearing yet on the PR’s intentions but we want do preserve that right rather than challenge it after the fact.

Thank you and don’t work too hard today.
