<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Interesting! Sub (7) "contrary to law" and sub (9) "substantial justice has not been done" might work. But it brings another issue to mind for me: Reconsideration is a civil
procedure matter, not a probate administration matter. CR 1 confirms the scope of the rules is for "all suits of a civil nature" and probate is not a suit. Without some kind of contested proceeding having been commenced, I wonder if it even is possible to
utilize CR 59 after a probate closes administratively.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

not impossible. The facts and circumstances are critical, probates can be very messy and that leaves room for creative lawyering, for the bad and the good.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Everything hinges in this circumstance on notice to omitted spouse during the probate, I think. Both the fact of notice at the beginning to establish jurisdiction, and the notice
at the end prior to final distribution. If omitted spouse didn't get Notice of Appointment in the first place, the whole probate is kaput, so let's assume that jurisdiction is established and closure is the real issue.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">If you use the standard Declaration of Completion with standard Notice under

done the entire distribution already so the omitted spouse knows whether or not s/he has received anything. If you use the alternative form under
</span><a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=11.68&full=true#11.68.112" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">.112</span></a><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">, that requires giving each person
notice of the expected minimum distribution due to them, so omitted spouse will get notice of how much s/he is expected to receive. Any other method involving an accounting will also give notice of the proposed distribution, so omitted spouse can verify before
closing the estate that s/he will receive the omitted spouse share.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">If the omitted spouse gets this kind of notice that s/he is NOT going to get a share, and yet fails to object to closure, then I think closure and discharge of the PR kills the
potential omitted spouse claim and any claim for breach of fiduciary duty, by res judicata. I think there are no grounds for reconsideration under

about appeal...I think the first defense by the PR would be waiver of the claim by failure to object prior to closing the Estate. Similar to a nonjudicial DOT foreclosure, the post-closing remedies should be very very limited. Why should an appeal be heard
when the spouse has full notice and opportunity to be heard prior to closing the Estate, and failed to do anything.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#1F497D">I’ll go out on a limb. My reading of the omitted spouse statute is that the omitted spouse “must receive” a share. There isn’t something that the spouse must do in order to
activate this right, as opposed to the filing a petition for a family support award that has a defined procedure and time frame within which it must be affirmatively activated by the spouse or lost. When distributing to heirs, the PR must distribute the intestate
share to the omitted spouse and the rest according to the provisions of the will. Of course, it would behoove the omitted spouse to get in there and assert those rights from the get go, especially if there was any question as to whether the will did in fact
“name or provide for the spouse” and the PR was proceeding as those the omitted spouse was left out intentionally.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

at any time before the discharge of that PR under RCW 11.96A.070(2). When that time frame ends depends on when and how the PR closes the estate and is discharged, and provided that the omitted spouse received proper notice.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
