<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Among the arguments you
might use, RCW 11.96A.020:<br>
(1) It is the intent of the legislature that the courts shall have
full and ample power and authority under this title to administer
and settle:<br>
(a) All matters concerning ... powers of attorney ....<br>
(2) If this title should in any case or under any
circumstance be inapplicable, insufficient, or doubtful with
reference to the administration and settlement of the matters
listed in subsection (1) of this section, the court nevertheless
has full power and authority to proceed with such administration
and settlement in any manner and way that to the court seems right
and proper, all to the end that the matters be expeditiously
administered and settled by the court.<br>
