this thread, but reading "she could subpoena the Pers. Rep." leads
me to remind all that discovery in RCW Title 11 cases is limited
to TEDRA petition cases unless the court approves discovery for
good cause.

say none. If she litigates she could subpoena the Pers Rep I
suppose, but administratively she has no standing. Even if
ex-husband was a direct heir, she still has no standing to
interfere with the probate process. She could try to garnish
the Estate or some such, but that still doesn't get her an
Inventory or brokerage statements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
