<div>This brings up another question in which I’ve had judges and commissioners differ in their opinions. If it is more than 40 days since death and no one prior asks to be appointed, is a hearing and notice required to spouse and anyone who could be appointed
in the list before your proposed PR or administrator? I’ve defaulted to YES now but had previously thought no. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Rod--For what it's worth, my forms all list the heirs in the petition as well. But I don't know of any direct statutory requirement to do so,
<u>when there is a Will</u>. Some caveats and thoughts:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">1. Even with a Will you still at least have to state whether or not there is a surviving spouse, so the court can determine whether or not you have to give
advance notice to the surviving spouse under <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.28.030">
RCW 11.28.030</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">2. If there's no Will you certainly do have to list heirs in the petition, per
<a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.28.110">RCW 11.28.110</a>. If it's within 40 days of date of death and your petitioner isn't in the preference list, you have to at least indicate that there are no next of kin who would receive a preference,
per <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.28.120">RCW 11.28.120</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">3. When you do file proof of service of the Notice of Appointment on the heirs, you have to indicate that you've complied by sending notice to "all heirs,
legatees, and devisees...<u>known to him or her</u>"--so even if it's not in the petition, your proof of service is a declaration under oath/perjury that those are the known heirs. So instead of putting the perjury/oath burden on the office flunky who mails
out the Notice of Appointment, maybe it's better as a matter of practice to put the
<u>petitioner</u> under oath on what petitioner's knowledge of heirs is. That's probably a reasonable protection against liability for the attorney.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">I suspect that everyone's forms to appoint a PR start with the Petition for Letters of Administration, which does list all the heirs; and then it gets adapted
for appoint a PR under a Will, and nobody bothers to remove the listing of heirs even if it's not, strictly speaking, required.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I agree that I have to send notice of the pendency of probate to known distant heirs after the will is admitted to probate. RCW 11.28.237(1). And it seems to me that I ought
to make some prudent effort at locating them because they would take if the will were successfully contested, and the 4 month clock is ticking once the will is admitted to probate. And it probably helps to list the heirs in the petition for purposes of making
sure there is a list somewhere of the persons to whom to send notice of pendency of probate, and if any of them are minors requiring a GAL. What I was looking for was any statutory
<i>requirement </i>to include such a list in the petition for probate and nonintervention powers filed by a person named in the will as PR. There seems to be no such requirement. I assume a paragraph for that information is included in the forms I see, and
have been using for years, so that the form can be used when the petitioner is not named as PR in the will.

<p class="MsoNormal">I send the notice to heirs etc. because I always seek to obtain non-intervention powers. My read of 11.68.041 states that I don't have to send ADVANCE notice (which I read as to mean, I still need to send notice after I get the letters)
if I am getting the powers pursuant to 11.68.011. For me the hinge on the insertion of the word advance means that the legislative intent is that there would still be notice provided, just not before getting the letters issued.</p>

probate the will of an elderly decedent who left all of her substantial estate to charity. She was an only child, her parents predeceased her, and her best friend, who is the PR, says she never talked about her relatives and left no records of them in her
belongings. So, where does it say I have to identify the heirs in the petition?
