[WSBAPT] Committed Intimate Relationship

[Dalynne Singleton]

I know this issue is complicated and I have handled several CIR (not registered as domestic partner) claims in TEDRA, both by agreement and otherwise.

Is there a Notice to be filed in the Estate pleadings to cover providing notice to all parties that the CIR is making claims under Ch 26.60 RCW, RCW 26.60.080 and in general, that domestic partners are treated the same as married spouses. RCW 26.60.015.  I have briefed the caselaw and have it handy as well -  I usually send a letter to the PR/Admin putting them on notice but have not filed anything "official" as notice in the pleadings to the court.  Would love to hear how others handle this situation when the estate is pending, inventory is not completed and there is a lot going on in the probate estate with minor children and assets/debts.
