A recently published legal notice confirms that the Superior Court of Washington for Clark County has opened a probate case in the estate of Donalda Porter, who is listed as deceased. The filing, recorded under Case No. 25-4-01590-06, was announced in a public notice carried by the Vancouver Business Journal’s legal notices section and reflects the court’s appointment of a personal representative.

Probate notices of this type serve as formal public announcements that an estate has entered court‑supervised administration. They invite creditors to present valid claims within the timeline established under Washington law, typically within four months of the notice’s first publication. The notice does not describe the circumstances of Porter’s death or provide additional personal information, which is standard for probate filings.

While the case originates in Clark County, such filings are often relevant to families, creditors, and service providers throughout Southwest Washington, including residents of Cowlitz County who may have had financial or contractual relationships with the deceased. Washington’s probate statutes apply uniformly across counties, and timely creditor response is required regardless of where a notice is published.

Individuals or creditors seeking details about the proceeding must rely on the official court file maintained by the Superior Court of Washington for Clark County, which contains the authoritative record of documents, deadlines, and representative contact information.
