[WSBAPT] One Probate administration for nonresident?

[Dale Young]

Listmates, I think I know the answer to this question, but just asking.
 
Can an intestate decedent whose real estate and most of his assets are in Washington, but who died a resident of Texas, but without Texas real estate,  have a Washington probate court administer his entire estate and  avoid an primary intestate proceeding in Texas?
 
I know an ancillary proceeding will be required in Washington for the Washington real estate to be conveyed to the heirs,  but does Washington have jurisdiction to decide intestate succession?    The laws of both states are the same as to who are the intestate heirs.   Could the entire estate be administered in Washington with the aid of TEDRA?
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks, 
 
Dale Young
