Denver Executor Seeks Exit From $1 Million Seattle Estate Role Before Sister Dies

Summary
$1 million in assets sits at the center of a cross-state estate dispute, with a Denver woman asking how to step down as executor for her Seattle sister before any probate begins.
Years of distance and both sisters being in their early 70s drove the request: the executor says she no longer feels able to handle a condo, mutual funds and other assets, and knows no one in Seattle.
Her sister has refused for about a year to name a professional fiduciary or trust company, leaving no alternate executor despite repeated requests.
The advice given was to avoid pressing the issue while the sister is alive and, if she dies first, formally decline the role before administering the estate so a court can appoint someone else.
