Attorney for Appellants: Steven Gerald Ranum (Croker Huck Law Firm)
Attorneys for Appellee (Sylinda Smith, Personal Representative of the Estate of Carol Smith): Ryan P. Watson & John Andrew McWilliams (Gross Welch Marks Clare Law Firm)
Civil Action: Quiet title
Action taken by the Trial Court: The trial court determined that Carol Smith’s estate owned a 50 percent interest in certain residential property in Bellevue, and it ordered partition of the property.
Assignment of Error on Appeal (Consolidated): Did the trial court err in determining that Carol Smith’s estate owned a 50 percent interest in the property at issue rather than quieting title solely in the Appellants?
