<b>My understanding: The PR may withdraw/resign, but until the
estate closes formally (eg, with the filing of a Decl of
Completion --- see for example 11.68.110 (2) & (3)) --- or the
Court otherwise discharges the PR, the PR remains liable for
actions & omissions during his/her administration. When the
estate closes formally, that discharges the PR & cuts the PR's
liability except for fraud or nondisclosure.</b><br>
<br>
<b>Bottom line: Administrative closing of the estate by the Court or
the Clerk does not relieve</b><b> the PR of liability for the
estate.</b><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No-asset estate, just personal
effects of nominal value. Surviving spouse and five
kids, one of whom is 13 years old. Received a bunch
of creditor claims totalling about $10,000.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Only opened the probate to
investigate a wrongful death claim, which was a
no-go, so now we need to shut it down with an
accounting and final hearing to approve no
distribution, no payment to creditors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RCW 11.76.080(2) seems in
indicate that appointment of GAL for the minor child
is mandatory. Is that right? If so, who is going to
pay the GAL? The Estate has literally nothing--no
cash, no vehicle, just some clothes and other
effects of no value.</p>
