<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I have an intervention probate to close and I’m doing the final report. I don’t have to deal with a lot of INTERVENTION estates. I am sure some of you have this down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Recently, I asked the Snohomish Superior Court to waive the publishing of the final report and it was denied. This caused 2 hearings and a publishing before I was able to get the estate closed and the PR
discharged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Do I pick the date for the hearing when I file the final report – providing for the 20 days’ notice and publishing? The RCW says “court, or the clerk of the court, shall fix a day for hearing”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Anyone been able to obtain an Order on Final Report after hearing but not have to publish? Seems such a waste of money when the estate had no assets, no debt and was opened to allow for the tort litigation
which settled and was dismissed. Insurance covered the claims and atty fees were paid by attorney for injured plaintiffs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
