[WSBAPT] Abatement Question

[Mark Vohr]

Have not run into this before, and after some research I'm not sure so I'm hoping someone out there knows.   Question - Can the court abate funds paid to a beneficiary of a retirement account to pay Washington State estate taxes?  I don't think so, because, as we know, retirement assets are, for the most part, exempt from collection from most creditors.  Can someone confirm whether I'm right?

Regards,

Mark
