[WSBAPT] Copies Copies and Faxes

[Eric Nelsen]

With creditor receipts, I run into this problem all the time. I typically
either sign a fax declaration under
<http://www.courts.wa.gov/court_rules/?fa=court_rules.display&group=ga&set
=GR&ruleid=gagr17> GR 17(a)(2); or sometimes I will file a short
declaration on my signature, attaching the receipts (or copies of
cancelled checks showing deposit), and asserting this as proof that
creditor claims of X and Y have been satisfied in full.

 

I view receipts as mere evidence; we want something to file to prove that
the debt has been paid. Best evidence would be a signed original receipt
from the creditor; but if I can't get that, I go with best evidence I can
put together. But to file it with the court, I think it needs an original
signature of some kind.

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric

Listserv:  I have faxes and copies of Creditor Releases to file in a
probate action.  While creditors are willing to fax to me, they are
generally being unhelpful.  Can I just file the faxes or copies with the
Court?  That is, must I file Releases with original signatures?
