PHELPS, No. 44917-0-II Deceased. UNPUBLISHED OPINION APRIL PHELPS FORD, in her capacity as personal representative of the Estate of Arthur D. Phelps, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent. BJORGEN, A.C.J. — The Department of Revenue appealed a judgment in favor of April Phelps Ford in her capacity as personal representative of the Estate of Arthur D. Phelps. Ford now concedes that the decision of the Washington State Supreme Court in In re Estate of Hambleton, 181 Wn.2d 802, 335 P.3d 398 (2014), cert. denied, 2015 WL 3534450 (2015), is controlling and resolves this appeal in favor of the Department. We accept Ford’s concession. The trial court’s judgment is reversed and remanded to the trial court with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the Department. No. 44917-0-II A majority of the panel having determined that this opinion will not be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record in accordance with RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered. BJORGEN, A.C.J. We concur: WORSWICK, J. MAXA, J. 2
