<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am hoping that someone can enlighten me related to closing a non-intervention probate that includes a minor represented by a guardian ad litem. The probate is in Pierce County Superior Court. The minor’s father has been named trustee
by the decedents’s will. There are no disputes among the heirs and beneficiaries. The personal representative is looking to disburse cash in equal amounts to each of the beneficiaries.<o:p></o:p></p>
