[WSBAPT] wage complaint - business owner deceased

[Dalynne Singleton]

I would have the PR/client sign a resignation of PR and file same and serve on L&I and all other creditors/heirs.  Given the Will, sounds like your client wasn't named PR anyway.
Send the note for hearing to same people/L&I unless already done so.
If you are withdrawing, file a notice of withdrawal and have the date of withdrawal be the date of the hearing and again serve on same people/L&I.

Subject: [WSBAPT] wage complaint - business owner deceased

Listmates, I represent an Administrator appointed very recently as closest kin to the deceased. A will has been discovered and my client is no longer interested in the estate. The will has been filed in the probate and there is hearing set to determine who will serve in my client's place. Meanwhile, I just received a wage complaint from L&I on behalf of an employee of the decedent's company (essentially, a one-person operation about which my client knows very little). I asked L&I for more time to respond because they have set a deadline which is before the probate hearing. L&I said no and "the process will continue to advance" if my client doesn't pay up or provide records to dispute the employee's claim by their deadline. Anyone had experience with something like this? The business records haven't even been accessed yet and it's not clear whether this employee is owed money or in what amount - Shannon
