<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, Candace. The estate isn't the beneficiary (the kid was specifically designated), so I don't think I have any authority to claim the accounts. There's also some concern that we don't want mom to have access to the funds... Elizabeth <o:p></o:p></p>

parent have any authority to consent to the King County court's jurisdiction over her teenage child? If so, what is that authority? <o:p></o:p></p>
