(3) "Representation" refers to a method of determining distribution in which the takers are in unequal degrees of kinship with respect to the intestate, and is accomplished as follows: After first determining who, of those entitled to share in the estate, are in the nearest degree of kinship, the estate is divided into equal shares, the number of shares being the sum of the number of persons who survive the intestate who are in the nearest degree of kinship and the number of persons in the same degree of kinship who died before the intestate but who left issue surviving the intestate; each share of a deceased person in the nearest degree shall be divided among those of the deceased person's issue who survive the intestate and have no ancestor then living who is in the line of relationship between them and the intestate, those more remote in degree taking together the share which their ancestor would have taken had he or she survived the intestate. Posthumous children are considered as living at the death of their parent.
(4) "Issue" includes all the lawful lineal descendants of the ancestor and all lawfully adopted children.

For the definition of "nonprobate asset" relating to revocation of a provision for a former spouse upon dissolution of marriage or declaration of invalidity of marriage, RCW 11.07.010(5) applies. For the definition of "nonprobate asset" relating to revocation of a provision for a former spouse upon dissolution of marriage or declaration of invalidity of marriage, see RCW 11.07.010(5).

POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Hochstatter: “Senator Gardner, my understanding is--and I hate to have understanding yield to passion--but my understanding is that there are two elections. There is the election to decide to go to the strong mayor plan and in that decision to change, is that when the mayor is elected and then there is a two year wait--could you run through, maybe, an example to help me understand this?”
Senator Gardner: “Certainly, thank you. This came up, because this just happened in Ferndale in Whatcom County. In Ferndale, they decided they did not want a city manager, they wanted an elected mayor. In making that change, they also terminated all seven of their city council members, so that by electing to change their form of government, in effect, they put everybody out of office. The entire city government ceased to exist and they then had to run for office. They not only had to hold the general election, but they also had to hold the primary election. So, they held the primary election to change the form of government, then they held a primary election, then they held a general election.
“It was pretty expensive and not really the intent of just changing the government. It caught up the council members unintentionally. The two years has to do with the process by which you change governments. You have a petition, it is brought in and certified, an election is held on whether or not to change the form of government. If that election fails, the proponents can go out again, get another petition, have it certified and six months later require another election. It just becomes expensive and onerous and we felt that a two year interval, as is in statute for other purposes, made more sense.”

On motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, further consideration of Substitute Senate Bill No. 5718 was deferred.
