size=2>Good morning list mates,</FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A probate was started in King County by an attorney who had a
pending tort claim against the decedent. Letters of Administration were
requested for the sole purpose of starting an estate so the pending tort claim
could proceed. After probate was initiated, the tort complaint was amended to
change the name of the defendant from the decedent to the estate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Probate documents reflect that the only asset is the
decedent’s insurance coverage. Notice to Creditors was not published. Notice of
Pendency of Probate were not sent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The decedent’s insurance company now wishes to substitute in a
new PR.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Current PR wants to cover his bases before stepping down in
order to ensure that he has no liability as PR and also so that the claim can
proceed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Are the probate notice requirements different when the only
purpose for filing the probate is to enable pursuit of insurance funds? What
steps must be taken to ensure the claim can proceed once this PR has stepped
down?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks in advance for your thoughts.</FONT></DIV>
