Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington
As a beneficiary do I need to be served w/ the disbursement of funds from the estate or is it sent certified mail? My uncle who is both a beneficiary and an executor of the will just changed the probate attorney. Can I call to ask her questions and if so, is she allowed to lie to me? If he chooses to fight my being a beneficiary does he have to have me served? If so, what happens if he can't?

Your questions cannot be safely answered without much more information about the situation.
Only with complete background information can questions be answered with any expectation that the answers are accurate.
If you are concerned and need the information to protect your rights, you need to gather all of the information that you can gather and take it to an attorney who can read it, supplement it with more questions and then apply the law to the facts to come up with possible answers, solutions and advice.
