[WSBAPT] Probate for Profit - REVISIONS DISCUSSION

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Greetings List Mates -

As an individual member of the WSBA who has history working on the probate
for probate bill, I am meeting with those involved from the AGO to talk
about obtaining their support for some "revisions" "modifications" "tweeks"
"amendments" - FIXES to the newly passed law.

I want to hear from you and your experiences.  Here is my existing list:
1) I want to bring back consent and waiver for the listed family members.
Why is it that it is ok for a surviving spouse to consent to the service of
someone but all the children cannot get together and agree to let the son's
wife who just did this process for her family and knows all the
steps.....why should she have to be a Sub 3 with full intervention?

2) Can we amended 11.36.010(3) - to specifically indicate that an attorney
within one of those types of entities can also serve with NIP/No Bond

3) Amending 11.36.010 to include professional guardianship companies. The
argument is that they are already bonded and licensed. Just because they
may not be appointed through the 11.28.120(2) process doesn't mean they
shouldn't be allowed to qualify for NIP.

I plan to share many of the stories that have already come my way, but if
you have a specific ask for a revision - send it to me by the start of
business on the 7th (this friday) as I will be having my zoom.

To be fully transparent, I am basically advising that I have sponsors that
will put this through but I would like the AGO to support these under the
guise of.....they broke it, they should support the effort to fix it and
make it as best as possible while still maintaining the integrity of what
they wanted to accomplish.

If you have not heard me speak on this topic - this is a delicate dance.
There are some issues where the AGO was intractable in their demand for
what the legislation should say. My hope is that these specific fixes and
the explanation as to WHY - will win the day and have their support.

Thank you!
Brent
