<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">RCW 11.56.080 notice is published before the property is listed<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">RCW 11.56.100 confirmation of sale is published after an offer is accepted subject to court approval<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Occasionally I have had the court waive the notice under 11.56.080 if it is being listed on the MLS since there will be lots of eyeballs on it anyway, the notice doesn’t serve any useful purpose. But the court will typically not waive the
Confirmation of Sale, because it is an opportunity for another buyer to beat the best offer, and serves a purpose to publicly disclose the sales terms and essentially confirm it is the true market price.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I represent a Personal Representative who does not have non-intervention powers. An order authorizing my client to sell the decedent’s real property via private sale has been
entered. My client is working with a realtor and the property will soon be listed for sale. My question is regarding the timing of publication of the notice of sale. Per RCW 1.56.080, the notice has to be published once a week for two consecutive weeks
and must state the day on or after which the sale will be made and the place where offers or bids will be received. In another probate where I represented a beneficiary, the PR waited until they had accepted an offer, subject to court approval, and then published
the notice. However, I see nothing in the statute that requires the PR to wait to publish until after an offer is accepted and I don’t see any reason not to go ahead and publish the notice now. Am I missing something?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
