Filing Codicil In Probate
Summary
If a codicil was overlooked during probate, you may need to petition the court to reopen the case. Provide evidence of the codicils validity and explain its importance. If the latest will was ignored or a hearing was missed, you can file a motion to compel the court to act. For urgent matters, request an ex parte hearing to expedite letters testamentary. Contact the king county superior court probate division for specific filing and procedural requirements.Full Conversation
What if all steps were not complete what if everything was filed in the case after it was inactive
If all necessary steps were not completed before the case became inactive, and filings occurred after inactivity, the court may not consider those filings valid. You might need to petition the court to reopen or reactivate the case to address any incomplete steps. Do you want details on how to do this?
What if the will that was probated did not have its self proving codicil with it which changed the executor
If a codicil (an amendment to a will) was not included during probate, it might not have been considered by the court. This could affect the appointment of the executor or other terms of the will. To address this:
- You may need to petition the probate court to reopen the case.
- Provide evidence of the codicil's validity (e.g., signed and witnessed properly).
- This could involve a hearing to determine if the codicil should be admitted.
