<div class="elementToProof">Yes, the commission is part of the Purchase & Sale Agreement, essentially a cost of sale. But be careful because you will probably need to follow the procedures in Ch. 11.56 RCW, particularly the sale price (at least 90% of appraised
value) and court confirmation (within 10 days of mutual acceptance, publish notice 10-days in advance and have a hearing to approve the sale).

<div class="elementToProof">Theoretically no, but given that it is intervention, see my answer to #3. And I would definitely involve the creditors including DSHS in the sale, and they will usually be flexible on their payoff amount to allow a sale to happen.</div>

That said, these are a ton of work, and you might get challenged on your fees. I would tread carefully.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">All,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">PC is sole heir of mom’s estate – no Will, intestate probate. Only estate assets is a piece of real property. It’s a tear-down house that will only get the estate around $150-200k. There are liens from the City amounting to around $10k,
a $40k mortgage and DSHS lien for approx. $250k. Clearly debts outweigh the asset.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">PC would like to do right by mom and take on estate, sell property and satisfy debts as much as possible. He would also like to at least take a fee for his time. I haven’t done many insolvent estates so have a couple questions:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do insolvent estates <u>require</u> intervention by the court and should the known creditors get notice of the initial probate proceedings in court?
</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">If PC administers Estate, can he take a fee prior to debts being satisfied (to make it worth his time)?</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">If property sells on market, do real estate agents get commissions prior to other liens being paid?
</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Are creditors, like DSHS, entitled to any kind of role in the sale of the property – to ensure most value is received in sale?
</li></ol>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Before looking over RCWs I thought I would ask – but any experience or insights would be appreciated.
