[WSBAPT] Probate for Profit presentation

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Greetings List Members -

For everyone who was in Vancouver this past weekend. Thank you for your
conversations and questions surrounding the new probate for profit law that
takes effect on June 11.

For those not in the room - one of the things discussed is that we know
this bill will need revisions and work. I request that if you encounter
issues in your matters  - please stay in touch.

Until we get some caselaw, I will be proceeding forward with all Sub-3 PR's
with extreme caution and absolute disclosure to the Court.  I mentioned in
the talk that I already have my first client who is caught under these new
rules.  44 years with the same person, no documents (I know, I know) -
owned home with Deceased as TIC.  Only heir is a half-sister out of state
that has been estranged from the family for 26 years.

These facts were already going to be potentially complex, borerling
messy/ugly. Now under this new law it is going to be much more lengthy and
expensive even if I can get the half-sister to agree to the world as my
client wants it to be.

The powerpoint (saved as PDF) is in the order of the Bill, which I am also
attaching. The slides are meant to be a high-level guide. Some of the
revisions were hundreds of words and just wouldn't have worked well to be
in the presentation.

Finally, I am attaching as MS Word documents the new reporting templates.
Please, with my blessing, cut and paste into your own pleading paper.

Thank you to all who have been part of this journey for the past 11 months.
Though no one is truly happy with this legislation, it could be (and would
have been) much worse without everyone coming together to help us work with
Olympia....in our own, individual capacity, of course.

Brent
