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

[Lewis, Amy C.]

You only have to publish the notice to creditors in the county of residence, not the county where the probate is filed.

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.

Dear listmates,

I am filing a joint probate for the estates of a husband and wife in Chelan County. The daughter is named as the backup Personal Representative in both wills. In both wills, the same portions are stricken by hand, signed and dated. The stricken portions concern contingent beneficiaries (charities) who would take under the will if the daughter did not survive. Applying the factors set forth in In re Estate of Malloy, 143 Wn.2d 316, these changes are revocations, not alterations and need not comply with the formalities required for the execution of wills. Question: Is this a situation where it would be advisable to present in person? I had hoped to e-file to keep costs down (my office is in Seattle), then I received a copy of the wills from the client and saw the alterations. I’m not sure how common this situation is and how the commissioner will react. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed? The daughter is the only heir.
