Probate Case Docket Terminology Questions

[Tianna]

Jurisdiction

Washington

What does the following indicate from the case docket? I'm trying to understand if the personal representative has nonintervention powers. What is DIR AD? I copied directly from the docket the capitalizations.

Document Name
PTPOSD - Petition for Probate of Will for Order Adjudicating Solvency Directing Ad
Additional Information
PET PROB WILL FOR ORD SOLV&NONINTVN

Document Name
ORWPRSA - Order Admitting Will Appointing Personal Representative, Adjudicating Solvency & Dir
Additional Information
OR ADM WILL,APPT PR,ADJ SOLV,DIR AD

They pretty much repeat the long document name...

PET = petition
PROB = probate
WILL = will
FOR = for
ORD = order
SOLV = solvency
NONINTVN = nonintervention
OR = order
ADM = admitting
APPT = appointing
PR = personal representative
ADJ = adjudicating
DIR = directing
AD = administrator? ... this is probably lopped off the full title of the order directing some even to handle

You can't judge a book (too much) by the cover. You'll have to actually read these order.

Agree. You'll have to read the documents in the case file.

Thank you for the help. I will order from the court these documents in hopes that I will learn from the documents if the personal representative has nonintervention powers.
