[WSBAPT] PR Delegate Duties??

[Katharine P. Bauer]

I don't think they can delegate that authority...unless the Will states
they can (or references the trustee provisions)  They can delegate between
themselves as co-PRs, but not to a third person
RCW 11.28.040Procedure during minority or absence of executor.
If the executor be a minor or absent from the state, letters of
administration with the will annexed shall be granted, during the time of
such minority or absence, to some other person unless there be another
executor who shall accept the trust, in which case the estate shall be
administered by such other executor until the disqualification shall be
removed, when such minor, having arrived at full age, or such absentee,
having returned, shall be admitted as joint executor with the former,
provided a nonresident of this state may qualify as provided in RCW
11.36.010 <http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.36.010>.
