§26.2 SUBSTITUTION OF PARTIES

The appellate court will substitute parties on review when it appears that a party is deceased or legally incompetent or when the interest of a party in the subject matter of the case has been transferred. RAP 3.2(a). A party with knowledge that a substitution of parties is appropriate under RAP 3.2(a) has a duty to promptly move for substitution. RAP 3.2(b). If a party fails to promptly move for substitution, the personal representative of a deceased or legally disabled party or the successor in interest of a party should promptly move for substitution.
