<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000099">My bad- creditor is a SECURED creditor of decedent’s home where my client has lived with her gravely disabled young adult daughter since before decedent’s passing. My client did nothing after her mom died (think
she didn’t actually know there was a reverse mortgage), so lender started foreclosure and got Administrator appointed.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000099"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000099">Just got client appointed as Successor Administrator and is now dealing with lender. The Administration has 3-4 long-estranged children of decedent included in the Estate while decedent’s Will gives entire estate
to my client, so that’s why we want Will admitted. We’ve been told by lender there are different rules, even more flexible rules, for buying a reverse mortgage residence when it is the heir to the deceased borrower’s estate.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000099"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000099">Clearly we don’t want disabled daughter to have to move from the home that she has known for over a decade and which has been specially modified to meet her needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Assuming King County, I have done the former. The biggest trick is getting the Will pulled and in front of the commissioner once it has been filed as a Will Only.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you open probates by mail or some other variation of ex-parte via the clerk it may not be too difficult, but in-person it was a bunch of waiting for it to be pulled and hand carried down to ex-parte.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a super-basic question for a situation I have simply not encountered before: What is the process for converting a will-only filing into a probate? Do I file the probate under the same cause number and pay the probate filing fee,
or do I file a new case and move to merge them, or what?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not finding the answer in the statute or in my probate policy & procedure manual and I don’t know where else to look.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
