The Clark County Superior Court has issued a formal Notice to Creditors in the matter of the Estate of Dorothy M. Hart, deceased, under case number 26‑4‑00123‑06. The notice, published through the Vancouver Business Journal, identifies the appointment of a personal representative to administer the estate.

Under Washington law, a Notice to Creditors serves to inform potential claimants and interested parties that probate proceedings are underway. Creditors generally have a limited statutory period—often four months from the date of publication—to present claims against the estate to the personal representative or the court. Failure to do so within that period can bar future recovery.

While this case originates in Clark County, such filings occasionally involve assets or heirs with ties to neighboring Cowlitz County, including Longview and Kelso. Residents who believe they may hold a claim against the estate of Dorothy M. Hart are encouraged to review the official notice and follow the contact procedures listed within it.

Updates or supplemental notices, if filed, will appear in the Clark County Superior Court docket associated with this case number.
