In Re Estate of Richard Boyd. Sadie Boyd

The primary issue determinative of this appeal is whether the relation-back theory of CR 17(a) may be used to retroactively toll the 4-month statute of limitations for bringing will contests (RCW 11.24.010) when a petition is brought by a non-interested party upon the advice of counsel and is subsequently sought to be amended to bring in the proper parties. We answer in the negative.
