<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Does a petition to amend a
judicially created special needs trust have to be filed under a new cause number
as a separate TEDRA action, or can it be processed under the original cause
number of the action that created the trust?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The Clerk advised that the
petition will require a separate cause number. I think it is a grab for
additional filing fees. Is there and RCW on point that authorizes the amendment
of a trust using TEDRA agreement without filing a new cause number in this
scenario?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
