Contact Us Legal Services TEDRA Petitions TEDRA is an acronym under Washington State law for the Trust and Estates Dispute Resolution Act. The state statutes can be found under chapter 11.96A RCW. TEDRA is a procedural framework for the conduct and resolution of disputed issues which can often arise in the context of the probate of an estate or a guardianship or trust proceeding. Learn More Special Needs Trust A Special Needs Trust (sometimes also called a “Supplemental Needs Trust”) is a specific kind of living trust for the use of a disabled beneficiary who either is, or at some time in the future may be, eligible to receive certain types of benefits or State or Federal assistance that is based upon the financial needs of the beneficiary. Learn More Real Estate Clients want their real estate transactions to be clear, comprehensive, functional and enforceable. For these reasons, and because Washington law often requires it, an agreement involving real estate should be made in a writing signed by all of the parties. The need for legal services may not become apparent until after a real estate document has been signed, and perhaps until a question or dispute has arisen. Learn More VAPA Petitions & Restraining Orders VAPA is an acronym based upon Washington State law which stands for “Vulnerable Adult Protection Act”. The statutes can be found under chapter 74.34 RCW (which is actually called “Abuse of Vulnerable Adults”). A Vulnerable Adult is essentially anyone who is over the age of 60 years old and either disabled, incapacitated, living in a facility or living at home with caregivers.
