(1) A dissolved nonprofit corporation that has published a notice under RCW 24.03A.918 may file an application with the court for a determination of the amount and form of security to be provided for payment of claims that are contingent or have not been made known to the dissolved corporation or that are based on an event occurring after the effective date of dissolution but that, based on the facts known to the dissolved corporation, are reasonably estimated to be presented after the effective date of dissolution. Provision need not be made for any claim that is or is reasonably anticipated to be barred under RCW 24.03A.918(3).

The dissolved corporation shall pay reasonable fees and expenses of the special representative, including all reasonable expert witness fees.
