Subject: [WSBAPT] Form 17 in an estate

 

Dear Listmates:

I have an estate with residential real estate to sell here in King County.
The agent has presented the Personal Representative with a form 17 to
prepare and sign.  Given the PR is not the owner of the property and does
not have firsthand knowledge of the facts surrounding the condition, is
this Form 17 required.  Can the PR waive its preparation?  If they must
prepare it, can the PR simply indicate “I do not know”?  

I am sure this has been asked before, but I simply do not recall the
answer.  Your insight is much appreciated.

 

Yours truly,

 

Kerry A. Richards
