Subject: [WSBAPT] Canadian cross border probate issue

 

Here’s one I have not seen yet:

 

Wife dies in British Columbia as a resident of British Columbia.  She had
a bank account with Bank of America, US, with $3,000.  Bank of America
wants probate letters of administration to authorize the closing of the
account and payment of the $3,000 to the husband as heir.

 

What do we have to do?  The small estate affidavit won’t work because she
didn’t die a resident or in Washington.

 

It sounds to me that this has to be done in British Columbia and then an
ancillary probate in Washington.  That will no doubt eat up the funds or
leave very little left.
