<b>Subject:</b> [WSBAPT] RCW 11.98.039 Parties</font>

<div lang="EN-US" style="word-wrap:break-word">
<div class="x_WordSection1">
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I’m considering RCW 11.98.030 (Nonjudicial change of trustee—Judicial appointment or change of trustee—Liability and duties of successor fiduciary) and particularly the part where “all persons with an interest in the trust” can by agreement name a successor
trustee when there’s a vacancy. I have used this many times and always assumed “all parties with an interest in the trust” means, for the run of the mill trust, the income/current beneficiaries and the remainder beneficiaries. (These would be the qualified
beneficiaries and permissible distributees of RCW 11.98.039.) However, I have received a different perspective about that recently and I am wondering if, perhaps, the current/”qualified” beneficiary, alone, can name the new trustee. Support for that could
be RCW 11.96A.030 which, in its definition of parties to an irrevocable trust, mentions “each qualified beneficiary,” but not a “permissible distribute” though it also mentions “any other beneficiary whose interest is protected under the constitutional principles
of due process.” <span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif; color:black; background:white"></span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Does anyone think that RCW 11.98.030 allows the qualified beneficiary, alone, to name a successor trustee? I am thinking maybe it does, and in the past I’ve read more into RCW 11.98.039’s “all persons with an interest in the trust” than I needed to.
