[WSBAPT] An Estate as Plaintiff in a Quiet Title Action

[Mark Anderson]

PR John Doe is trying to clear title to a piece of real property that was owned by decedent Mother Doe while she was living.  The PR needs to bring a quiet title action to do so.  Some quick questions:
1.  How should the plaintiff be named in the caption?

  *   John Doe, as Personal Representative for the Estate of Mother Doe?
  *   The Estate of Mother Doe?
  *   The Estate of Mother Doe, by John Doe, its Personal Representative?
  *   Something else?
2.  Who is titled quieted in?  (please pardon the dangling whatever)

  *   Mother Doe?
  *   The Estate of Mother Doe?
  *   John Doe, as Personal Representative for the Estate of Mother Doe?
Thanks in advance.
