[WSBAPT] Rejection of Creditor's Claim filed by Attorney for Claimant

[Mark Anderson]

I don't think you will get any blowback if you send the rejection to both the claimant and her attorney.  However, you may want to address the envelopes as follows:

"[name of attorney] in care of [name of Individual Creditor]" - send this to the Claimant's address.

"[name of attorney] - send this to the attorney's address.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Rejection of Creditor's Claim filed by Attorney for Claimant

Listmates:

Individual Creditor files a probate claim through her attorney.  Claim list the Claimant's address and that of the attorney "as signor" of the claim.  Is the rejection of claim sent to both the claimant and her attorney or just the attorney, or just the claimant.  My concern is sending anything to the claimant when you know she is represented by counsel.  RCW 11.40.100 states the rejection shall be personally served or sent by certified mail  "to the claimant or claimant's agent, if applicable, at the address stated in the claim."  I believe it is safest to just send it by certified mail to the attorney, but because the claim includes the claimant's address will service on the attorney, alone be deemed inadequate?  Have anyone of you had this experience?
