<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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>
