Order Shortening Time), & in all cases, the Court's response

ballsy to ask if you'd be willing to share a TRO order for that

<div>Thank you so much, Katherine. That's what
we're facing, with all 3 subs in Ireland. The
funeral home is sticking to the statute. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I suppose I could schedule a hearing, give
them notice and see if they fly in to dispute
it. No idea if the court would agree that's
fair. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, the Irish sibs control decedent's
assets (bank account with considerable amount).
I fear the assets will be wiped out before we
open probate and get letters. Any thoughts?</div>

<div>Oh, and thanks for answering on Thanksgiving!
Happy turkey day. </div>

<p dir="ltr">My experience is this is more
about control, than what the decedent
wanted. In one case, cremation and dividing
the ashes worked. Years ago, a decedent
stayed in cold storage for more than a month
while all the six siblings were located and
went to mediation about whether to cremate
or bury. Mortuary got rich on that one...I
felt we could make an argument PR ruled, but
mortuary wouldn't accept that because of the
statute.</p>

<div>Deceased and spouse (Client)
lived in a meretricious relationship
for 16 years (no children by either
one), but did not register as
domestic partners. Deceased left a
valid will, naming Client his PR and
sole beneficiary. Will does not
address disposition of remains.
Client and next of kin (brother of
Deceased) disagree about
disposition. </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My reading of RCW 68.50.160 is that
the brother would have authority over
remains if spouse was not registered
as domestic partner. Is the statute
the definitive authority on this or
are there any possible exceptions? </div>
