[WSBAPT] Snohomish County Probate - Death Certificate Needed

[J A Cyphers]

Was in Snohomish County Ex Parte Dept A this morning to probate a will. 
Decedent died Jan 9 so we don't have the death certificates yet.
Commissioner wanted to see the death certificate before she would sign an
order.  Wanted more than a verified petition.  She was willing to take a
published obituary or funeral or cremation bill as proof.  But I didn't not
the bills and there was no obituary published.
So have to do it again once the death certificate is issued.  They did not
want the death certificate filed; just wanted to see it.

Bottom Line:  Now need to show the death certificate in Snohomish County
also.
I would love to know what happened that the Courts decided they wanted
independent proof of death before probating the will.
