[WSBAPT] Starting probate without death certificate

Mon Jan 5 11:40:08 PST 2015

I'm very unclear why any of this happening.  Presumably, the Petition
(sworn under oath) indicates the date of death.   I don't think that it
is required, but for some reason the Court is exercising its discretion
- but why?

Yup. That is what I've been asked to do by the commissioner in King
County on several occasions.

I am curious.  How does one "present" something to the court but not
"file" it?  Hold it up for the judge and say "looky here?"  Hand it up
to the judge and then get it back?

Snohomish County Commissioners want the death certificated presented
(but not filed).

	I was asked for it the last time I opened a probate in King
County.  I didn't have it, and was able to open the probate anyway, but
in the future I'm going to try to have it before going to court.

	Hello Listmates

	I have a case where a lady is in her last days and has a closing
pending.  If she does not survive to closing I may have to open a
probate before the death certificate is available.  Has anyone had
similar problem?
