[WSBAPT] Decedent co-signed student Loan - collection effort

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Greetings List -

One of my Executors that was about to close her mother's estate (literally
just sent the Declaration of Completion to be signed by the Executor)
received a collection notice for a student loan that the Decedent co-signed
for a friend's daughter.

1) No notice was sent to them as there was no paperwork or any indication
prior to this letter that Decedent had co-signed.

2) The collection effort makes no discussion regarding the other signatory
of the loan.

Has anyone had experience with this before? I have been looking for any
specific reference to Washington case law on this topic but haven't found
one on point.

Appreciate any insights.

Brent
