1Opinion of the Court

¶1 — Christopher (Chris) and David Harder,1 two of four heirs2 of the estate of Michael K. Harder, appeal the superior court’s finding that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the issue of the reasonableness of the personal representative Phillip Harder’s fees in the settlement of their father’s estate because none of the heirs properly invoked the superior court’s jurisdiction within the required time limit. Chris and David argue that their notice to mediate was the equivalent of a petition for accounting under the probate statute, RCW 11.68.110. We affirm.
