[WSBAPT] Probate, Protection Order, Competency, and Guns

[Mark Anderson]

Dear All:
PC needs prompt help.  He wrote to me today and said this:
This thing is just a mess.  He is a friend, who I have known since he was 4.  He graduated but is a bit slow to comprehend things.  His father passed away a month after he graduated high school (in early July), and ever since his only full relative (his grandmother) had him declared in an emergency protection order a potential harm to himself and others.  Which the hearing is scheduled to be decided Monday.  I will be in Tri-Cities with him during that online appearance which was filed in Chehalis court.  So, probate may be contested by the grandmother, and she may have filed probate already.  Grandmother had already demanded the guns which were stored at a licensed dealer, and because of a threat, he gave them to her.  Her son (Timothy's half Uncle) who is a convicted felon helped carry the guns out.  The felon is the one who filed the petition to have the guns removed on behalf of the grandmother.
Frankly, it is a big mess.  I think what we really need now is advise which we are certainly willing to pay for.
I don't think this is going into litigation, and we are planning on him filing for probate on Monday when we are in the tri-cities.
Let me know if this is something you are willing to share advice over and we can fill you in on the rest of it.
Who is willing to connect with the PC and help him?
Thanks much.
