Ummm... well, that certainly differs from the version *I* heard.

Uhhuh, well, that's what I get for theorizing, Mr. Consigliero Wanttaja.

Oh, OK, sorry for being a bit thick. It's just that the situation is so
bizarre, your scenario would be an improvement. IIRC, you're a member of
the Fly Baby list...check out message 3850.

For everyone else, the lesson is: If you want things to happen after you
die, put them in a will.

I plugged in "intestate succession" and intestacy and personalty and
personal property and washington state into google and didn't find much.
However, it looks like Washington has an easy procedure for administration
of an estate where the deceased dies without a will. The clerk appoints an
administrator and that apparently has been done.

This law would probably be what the administrator (an executor must have a
will) uses to distribute the personal property:

Here are Washington's revised statutes:

I notice that Title 17 applies to such characters as Shankland and
Wischmeyer.
