<p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com <wsbapt-bounces@lists.wsbarppt.com>
<b>On Behalf Of </b>Kate Szurek<br>
<b>Sent:</b> Friday, April 16, 2021 2:50 PM<br>
<b>To:</b> WSBA Probate & Trust Listserv <wsbapt@lists.wsbarppt.com><br>
<b>Subject:</b> [WSBAPT] incarcerated remainder beneficiary<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just as we were getting ready to distribute an estate and close the probate, the lifetime beneficiary to a testamentary trust (fbo one of decedent’s daughters) died. I believe that means we should give notice of the filing of the declaration
of completion of probate to the remainder beneficiaries to the trust. Yes?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Assuming true, the next question arises because one of the remainder beneficiaries is incarcerated (son of my client, who is the PR and trustee). Can we simply mail notice to him in the same manner as we would send him any other correspondence
(by mail to the prison)? That seems too simple, but would be relatively easy. I doubt the incarcerated son will object, at least not within the 30 days. Having been incarcerated for a number of years now, he is currently clean and sober. But I would like
to cover all bases, as someday he will no longer be incarcerated, and potentially he could once again return to a desperate state where he again takes up drugs, in which case his mom/my client could very well again be in danger (he is in prison because of
a physical attack on her when he was near to overdosing on meth).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your thoughts, oh accomplished ones?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance!!<o:p></o:p></p>
