Nonintervention probate

Nonintervention probate is the default in Washington and results in one of the simplest probate processes in the country. Once the court appoints a personal representative and grants nonintervention powers, that representative can usually administer the estate without going back to the court for routine decisions.

What we’ll cover in detail

• Which estates qualify for nonintervention powers
• What the personal representative can do without court approval
• When you still need to return to court (will contests, creditor disputes, removing a representative)
• How nonintervention compares to formal supervised probate
• The costs you can typically expect

If you’ve been named personal representative or you’re trying to figure out what kind of probate your situation needs, give us a call.
