I have questions about MOBILE HOME PARK tenant law as well as how that 
relates to probate law.

Questions I have are:

1) If a mobile home tenant dies, who was the owner of the home, does a 
mobile home park lease terminate when the owner/ tenant dies?

2) If someone were to hypothetically remain in the home or if someone 
were to pay the rent on the space until the home could potentially be 
sold, what kind of notice must be given to whoever is occupying the 
mobile home (after the owner dies) or paying the rent to the park?

3)  If the mobile home park files a claim for back rent, do they still 
have to file a lawsuit within 30 days or pursuant to RCW 59.20.073, can 
they refuse to approve any buyer for the sale of the mobile home unless 
either the buyer pays the back rent OR unless the Estate pays the back 
rent?  Again, this is without filing a lawsuit.

If there are not enough funds to satisfy all creditors, wouldn't this 
give the mobile home park a priority to which they are not entitled?
