[WSBAPT] Filing a probate in Chelan County with a partial revocation of will

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

I would recommend you look into filing the probate in King and then just
doing a notice to creditors in both King and Chelan County. That way you
can keep costs down plus I would imagine being familiar with King county
will make life easier for you.
