[WSBAPT] King County - creating joint probate when one probate already started

[Paul Neumiller]

I don't know nothin' about birthing no babies and practice in King County
but if it was in my neck of the neck, I would consider seeking permission to
amend my original petition.

Subject: [WSBAPT] King County - creating joint probate when one probate
already started

 

I have a probate open for Wife. Husband died some years before her and no
probate was done, and it looks like we need that probate now. So, I would
like to open the probate for the Husband as a joint probate with Wife.

 

Any tips on the most procedurally efficient way to accomplish this? Can I
file the petition under the existing case number, and request amendment of
the case caption to include both decedents (and pay the clerk the filing fee
for the new decedent)? Or should I open under a new case number and file a
motion to consolidate?

 

This will be in King County, so any experience with local quirks would be
appreciated. Thanks all -

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric
