I have not had this exact situation where the PR has passed away, but if all estate administration has been completed and you recite the circumstances in the Declaration, I think it should serve to give Notice to the Court that the administration is completed and the Clerk can close the case. It seems like form over substance to appoint a successor PR in order to Declare that the probate is closed.</span><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span class="mceItemHidden">Jane <span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord">Bitz</span>.</span><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p><span class="mceItemHidden"> </span></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p><span class="mceItemHidden"> </span></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">Jane G <span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord">Bitz</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">Of Counsel</span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">Wolff, <span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord">Hislop</span> & Crockett, <span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord">PLLC</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">12209 E Mission, Suite 5</span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">Spokane Valley WA 99206-4824</span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><span class="mceItemHidden">(509) 927-9700; FAX (509) 777-1800</span><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><a target="_blank" href="mailto:jane@jbitzlaw.com"><span style="color:blue"><span class="mceItemHidden">jbitz@whc-attorneys.com</span></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><img border="0" width="346" height="174" style="width:3.6041in;height:1.8125in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D44911.CF6A2A20" alt="cid:image002.png@01D06C8A.419B0730" wbeuser="michael@westseattleattorney.com"></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2F5496"><span class="mceItemHidden">THE CONTENTS OF THIS ELECTRONIC MAIL ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROTECTED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE OR OTHER APPLICABLE PROTECTION.
