Thanks for the follow up. With young children as in your case, it makes sense that the court would want to grant relief to the other beneficiaries in the form of disestablishing/ disinheriting those children.<br>

I don’t have experience with a similar issue in the probate context. However, I have had many, many cases involving paternity testing. I see that Dalynne DID have a probate case with this issue. If your facts are similar to hers, her brief may answer your questions.<br>
<br>
Unless there is independent legal authority to seek genetic testing outside of a parentage action, the UPA authorizes genetic testing in the context of a parentage action. So, if you want to disprove parentage, you would probably have to bring an action. <br>
<br>
I don’t know what you mean when you say that “evidence has come to light” causing the administrator to question parentage. I don’t know how old this potential beneficiary is but, parentage actions must be brought before age 18.<br>
<br>
Also, the court has the discretion to deny genetic testing pursuant to RCW 26.26.A.460. It considers a lot of different factors including how long the presumed, acknowledge (whatever parent) held themselves out as a parent, performed the parenting role, etc.<br>
<br>
So, if a relative got genetic testing through 23&Me or Ancestry.com, etc. and there were indicators that this (adult?) child may not be a bio child of the deceased, and that is the only reason paternity is called into question, I can envision the judge denying testing (<strong><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>in the context of the parentage act.) </span></strong> In parentage cases, the court can deny a Petition to Disestablish Parentage based on the factors in the statute.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <br>
If you are talking about a young minor (not sure how old the minors were in Dalynne’s case), presumably you would get relief. <br>
