<P class=MsoNormal>The key here is not whether it was as a juvenile, but whether
civil rights have been restored. 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></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>RCW 11.36.010 disqualifies any person who has been convicted
of a felony from being appointed Personal Representative. Does that
include persons who were convicted as juveniles? I was thinking that it
should not, but I am having a difficult time finding an answer one way or
another. Any thoughts would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></P>
