<p class="MsoNormal">We have an upcoming mediation in a messy, complex probate case. We have agreed to make it a global mediation to attempt to settle interheir disputes and finish distribution to heirs after paying contested reimbursement to estate of first,
now deceased, PR/heir, and to pay fees and costs to my firm for me serving as PR for several years. Property was taken by Sound Transit in eminent domain, so only cash to be distributed, although other heirs will claim that deceased first PR took lots of
valuable personal property. Lots of legal and factual issues to sort out. Stan Foster and Jim Sorenson are other involved lawyers. Recommendations so far are Kathleen Learned, Stew Cogan, Eric Watness.
