[WSBAPT] Decedent Landlord in Unlawful Eviction

[David Faber]

List,

A colleague who is working an eviction defense under the Washington State
pro bono eviction defense pilot program had the defendant landlord die
during the court of the case with a trial scheduled for the end of
September. The colleague has asked me whether I know what he should do to
bring the estate into the trial. I stay away from estate litigation so I am
no help whatsoever to the colleague. I presume he moves to substitute the
Personal Representative as defendant, but with TEDRA and creditor claim
procedures, I'm immediately at a loss for whether that's the correct
procedural move. Has anyone on this list dealt with a similar situation/are
you willing to have a quick phone chat with the colleague regarding how he
might properly proceed?

Best,
David J. Faber
