[WSBAPT] Intestate Inheritance - Surviving Grandchildren

[Joshua McKarcher]

I think there is an emoji the youths use that suddenly seems very appropriate here, or else I better pack up and find another career: 💯. The grandchildren also have equal right to administer unless they are disqualified. (Sorry brother!)

Listmates:



I think grandchildren take under RCW 11.04.015, but here are the facts.  X dies.  No Will.  His only child predeceased him but had two children who are still living (had not seen or contacted their grandfather in 25 years).  X’s brother thinks he should get everything; I think the grandchildren are issue of the intestate under 015(2)(a) as some “degree of kinship” of the intestate.



Your thoughts.
