<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a probate in which my client completed the probate administration and signed the declaration of completion. She was a beneficiary of a small amount and there is only one other primary beneficiary. Other beneficiary signed waiver
of notice and receipt. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Client passed away the day after signing the declaration before she was able to make the final distribution.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I brought a motion and the court granted an order for Chase bank to wire the funds into my firm trust account so that I could make the final distribution rather than appointing a new PR.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chase, of course, will not honor the court order. I did look at RCW 30A.22, the Financial Institution Individual Account Deposit Act which I am guessing is the grounds for not honoring the Order as there is no provision that directly addresses
this situation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a backup PR listed in the Will who is a family friend. However, there has been a lot of conflict in this probate and could potentially cause more conflict in the appointment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Short of having the named-successor PR appointed and re-opening the Probate, does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get this money distributed? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
