Washington law provides a simpli- fied procedure for the transfer of assets in a small estate when the value of such does not exceed $100,000.
(c) If notice was not provided under this chapter or chapter 11.42 RCW, the creditor must present the claim within twenty-four months after the decedent's date of death.
This process requires you to take the following steps: Open probate. Notify all interested parties of your appointment as personal representative. Notify the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). Gather assets and information. Prepare an inventory and appraisement. Determine debts. Notify creditors.
RCW 11.40. 140 provides for strict provisions if you are a creditor of Decedent and wish to present a Creditor's Claim against the estate yourself: You must prepare, file, and serve a written Creditor's Claim, and. You must set a noticed hearing and have the Court determine whether your claim should be allowed.
Use the “not so simple” method to close the estate, Send Notice of Filing of Declaration of Completion, Wait until the expiration of the 30-day notice period, and. THEN MAKE DISTRIBUTION — AFTER your Declaration of Completion has become final and the time for filing any Objection has expired.
