[WSBAPT] Re-opening Administratively Closed Probate

[Sara Longley]

Hello listmates,

I have been brought in to work on a few different probates where matters stood still for so long that the court administratively closed the probate matter and they needed to be re-opened to complete the remaining work and distribute the assets.

My question is this: does re-opening a closed probate automatically revive the previously issued Letters?  I have been assuming that new Letters need to be issued, but I am curious to know if anyone has a rule or statute I have missed in my research saying otherwise.

Thanks,
Sara
