I believe you are correct in that the PR has standing and can compel an accounting. Under RCW 11.125.140(9) an Agent has thirty days to respond to a PR’s written request for an accounting of the “receipts, disbursements, or transactions conducted on behalf of the principal.” If no timely response is provided, RCW 11.125.160(2)(b) authorizes the PR, as any other interested person, RCW 11.125.160(1)(d), to bring the petition. I made my written request long ago, so now just a petition for an accounting, on twenty day notice, and include as part of the requested relief a reference to RCW 11.125.170. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for the response.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Eric Nelsen [mailto:Eric@sayrelawoffices.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 22, 2018 10:15 AM<br><b>To:</b> jeff@bellanddavispllc.com; WSBA Real Property Listserv <wsbarp@lists.wsbarppt.com><br><b>Cc:</b> mindy@bellanddavispllc.com<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: [WSBARP] Recalcitrant Attorney in Fact<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Not sure if you received any responses--the answer used to be under Ch. 11.94 RCW, now repealed and replaced by Ch. 11.125 RCW, the Uniform Power of Attorney Act.
