We petitioned the Court for an Order of Ejectment (that could be enforced by a Writ of Restitution if he didn’t move out). I used RCW § 11.96A.150 as my justification for paying the costs including mortgage, insurance, utilities, court costs and attorney fees from the share of the holdover heir because he would not move out to allow the property to be cleaned out and sold. The Court granted the Order. Since the heir did not move, we had to go back for a further Order to get all the costs paid for the sheriff to go out with the Writ, etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>11.96A.150 . Costs - Attorneys' fees<b> </b>(1) Either the superior court or any court on an appeal may, in its discretion, order costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be awarded to any party: (a) From any party to the proceedings; (b) from the assets of the estate or trust involved in the proceedings; or (c) from any nonprobate asset that is the subject of the proceedings. The court may order the costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be paid in such amount and in such manner as the court determines to be equitable. In exercising its discretion under this section, the court may consider any and all factors that it deems to be relevant and appropriate, which factors may but need not include whether the litigation benefits the estate or trust involved. (2) This section applies to all proceedings governed by this title, including but not limited to proceedings involving trusts, decedent's estates and properties, and guardianship matters. This section shall not be construed as being limited by any other specific statutory provision providing for the payment of costs, including RCW 11.68.070 and 11.24.050, unless such statute specifically provides otherwise.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:.5in'>My brief didn’t have a cite to any caselaw on point because I didn’t find any.

We have had two separate restraining order proceedings, one in the probate, one in an anti-harassment context, each cross-references the other, in order to protect the Estate property and the personal representative. All of it is directly related to the Estate. The proceedings have had multiple events and all have resulted in restraining orders and orders prohibiting the problem heir from entering the Estate property or stealing its assets, which haven't stopped him, at least in part. I want to take the costs of these proceedings out of his share. I plan to TEDRA this, given the broad scope of "matter" and 11.96A in general, and believe the local court will be in agreement. I just can't find the right search terms to locate any case or statutory authorities. The PR has used some of her personal funds to pay for the expenses, and some of the Estate rental income. The latter is not sufficient so she has supplemented. There will be distributions to all of the heirs, maybe $50,000. Anyone have any authorities, or thoughts?
