think you file a petition for accounting under RCW
11.68.110(2), but I think the petition needs to comply with
TEDRA procedures so it amounts to the same thing. If you
want additional relief beyond an accounting, I think it can
all go in the same petition. So long as you demand an
accounting, that triggers 11.68.110(2) and halts closure of
the probate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">You
can request an accounting and an inventory. Court
approved accountings can be expensive. First I
would contact the attorney for the estate to see if
they will provide an informal accounting. You can
ask for bank statements and the like if you require
back up proof of deposits and expenditures. If your
client does not waive the Notice of Filing a
Declaration of Completion of Probate, she will have
30 days to object to the closing of the estate after
the Declaration is filed. If the estate is not yet
closed, I would start by talking with the attorney
to see what they can provide to satisfy your client
that she has received her full distributive share.
If there is a question as to what is separate and
community property, you may have to use a TEDRA
petition to have the court make the final
determination. If the assets are all one or the
other, that should not be an issue. 11.04 is pretty
cut and dry. Formula approach. Unless there has
been a petition for family allowance, or issue of
community vs. separate property it should be easy to
trace the assets to determine the net estate and how
it is to be distributed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
