[WSBAPT] Creditor Opening Probate

[Amy Goertz]

I have an individual who is owed money on a judgment against a person who has now died post-judgment.

The surviving spouse of decedent has not started a probate and perhaps is not going to.

Is there a way to submit a claim? 

If a creditor starts a probate, are the PR duties of the creditor different than a normal PR or do they have to marshall the assets and deal with other creditors in the same way?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Amy
