[WSBAPT] Questions on Procedure to withdraw as counsel (King County)

[Elizabeth Bateman]

Yes.  E-file a Notice of Intent to Withdraw that complies with the requirements of CR 71 (c) effective at least 10 days in the future, send a copy to the PR by certified mail, and send a copy by regular mail to all other interested parties.  This would include the individuals who received notice of the probate proceeding.  See RCW 11.02.005 and RCW 11.96A.030.  E-file declaration of mailing.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Questions on Procedure to withdraw as counsel (King County)

Greetings List Members -

I have an estate where the Executor has gone without communicating for too long a period. As such, I will be withdrawing - looking at CR 71- my question is are all of the heirs, devisees, and legatees who received notice of the probate initially considered "parties" of the proceeding?

Just want to make sure that I comply with the rules.

Procedurally, since I am doing this through CR 71(c) - withdrawal by notice - the rule states that if no one objects, the withdrawal shall become effective without order of the court.....but is this something that I simply file (we are in King County) through e-filing?

Thank you!
Brent
