That is now automatic in WA as long as some requirements have been met. Restores all rights except firearms (which can also be done, by a separate process). While I believe this clearly includes fiduciary duties such as PR, Guardian etc., courts have wide discretion to deny PR to someone who is “unsuitable”. I had a case where a named PR had a theft charge, went into diversion, and was told it “would go away”. It doesn’t. Even though she was never convicted, Commissioner looked at the charge, noted how recent (12 years) and said no. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Tim Williams<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Timothy E.
