Washington Probate > Probate Questions Answered for Free

Simple, "One-Time" Probate Questions Answered for Free ---

In compliance with the WA Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC), I would be pleased to discuss your legal matter with you on the following conditions:

• Your matter concerns probate in the State of Washington, as that is "all I do."

• Contacting me does not create a lawyer-client relationship, which may be created only by your signing my Terms of Representation & my receiving it.

• You will not disclose to me any information that could be significantly harmful to you if used in the matter.

• Your contacting me & any information you disclose to me will not prohibit me from representing a different client in the matter.

• My primary duty is to my existing clients, and I will need to limit my time in "answering questions for free."

By Telephone --- to 206 545-1463
 

By Email --- to RichardWills@Washington-Probate.com
Please be sure to include your first & last name and that of any Decedent in question, so I can ensure that I don't have a conflict of interest in responding to you.

If You Telephone Me & I'm Unavailable (eg, in Court): Please leave your name and telephone number and I will return your call almost always within one business day.

If You Email Me, Please State:

• All the relevant facts and circumstances +

• Your questions and concerns +

• Your first & last name +

• Your full mailing address +

• Your telephone number +

• The name and relationship of any Decedent +

• If any of your matter concerns persons or property outside of Washington +

• Whether you wish me to respond by Email or telephone.

• But not anything that could be harmful to you.

Please identify yourself fully (first and last name, address, & phone).  Among other things, I need you to identify yourself to ensure that by responding to you, I am not inadvertently entering into a conflict of interest.

Please remember that I have an active probate practice, representing many Personal Representatives, beneficiaries, heirs, creditors, etc. in numerous probate estates..  Consequently, please make sure to mention the name of the Decedent, because if I am representing a party regarding his or her estate, I will need to identify and state my conflict and respectfully decline to respond to your conserns.

NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, any reply will presume:

• All persons are Washington residents.

• All property is located in Washington.

• All relevant law is the law of Washington or federal law as applied to residents of Washington.

• Any Court mentioned is a Washington Superior Court.
