[WSBAPT] City of Seattle pension clawback,

[Sara D. Longley]

Listmates,

A quick gut check: a former client contacted me today regarding the estate of his mother, who passed away in 2018.  She was a City of Seattle retiree and received a monthly pension.  Her estate was handled with a Small Estate Affidavit, and no Notice to Creditors was published.

After all this time, the City of Seattle sent the heirs a letter saying there was an overpayment of the pension and asking for repayment from the estate.

I don't see how the City can get around the 2-year claim period, but as always I don't know what I don't know.  If anyone can think of a reason why my former client should worry about this bill I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Sara
