<div dir="ltr">Thanks for all your comments. She did get a 30 day notice to close the probate. I don't have time to negotiate with the estate attorney. The probate is set to close tomorrow. She just came in my office yesterday. I just want to stop it from closing so should I file the TEDRA petition or can I just file a petition for accounting and inventory to stop the closing of the probate? </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jenna Brozik</font></div><div><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Attorney at Law</font></div><div>Prinz & Brozik PLLC</div><div>445 S Grand Ave</div><div>Pullman, WA 99163</div><div>(509)338-0908 / (509) 338-3527 (fax)</div><div><a href="mailto:jennaprinzlaw@gmail.com" target="_blank">jennaprinzlaw@gmail.com</a></div><div> </div></div></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:blue;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who is an heir to her grandmother's estate. The grandmother did not have a will. The attorney for the estate is about to close the probate. My client believes she is entitled to more than what the personal representative
has allotted to her. She did not accept the check sent to her by the personal representative which was what the estate decided was her share of her grandmother's estate. It is too late to contact the estate attorney to try to negotiate or request more information.<u></u><u></u></p>
