1Opinion of the Court
¶1
Sanders, J.
Helen Cleveland appeals the dismissal of her petition contesting the will of Robert Kordon for failure to timely issue a citation to Kordon’s personal representative under RCW 11.24.020.1 Cleveland argues the Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (TEDRA), chapter 11.96ARCW, eliminates the requirement to issue a citation to parties to an existing probate proceeding. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding TEDRA inapplicable to will contests. We affirm on different grounds, holding TEDRA applies to will contests but does not affect the RCW 11.24-.020 citation requirement.
