court will probably appoint just one. If they show up and want to be appointed, then the court will abide by the Will UNLESS they are ineligible such as convicted felon, minor, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent’s Will appoints two people as co-PR’s. If one of the appointed people wishes to commence probate independently and get himself appointed as PR, does he have to give notice to the other appointed person? I reviewed RCW 11.68.011
and .041 but the answer is not apparent to me. If no clear answer, then best practice?<o:p></o:p></p>
