enough that the recipient could get their money together, get a loan, or otherwise, or could simply take back a note and deed of trust at closing, with a balloon payment due down the road.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of my probate matters involves two pieces of real property but three heirs. The heirs have agreed, in principle, that each property will pass to one heir and they will pay the estate back for the excess over their share. The oldest
heir and executor is concerned that the younger sibling will not pay what she owes back to the estate (share of estate is $150k, this particular house is worth $215k - thus heir will need to pay Estate $65k)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question - is there a standard time by which someone should pay back the estate before the Executor can reasonably say they are simply dragging out the process and decide to sell and distribute the proceeds? I was looking through the
RCW and did not see any guidance for a situation like this. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Appreciate the feedback as we want to be fair to the heirs that knew they were going to be writing checks back to the Estate, but also to keep the process moving forward if they cannot come up with the funds and we need to list the property
for sale. <u></u><u></u></p>
