[WSBAPT] Another Out of Country PR issue

[Randy Petgrave]

Russell,

 

In my situation, we presented the court with a scanned color copy of the
notarized Oath (the original was still in the mail from England).  Although
the fact that it was a foreign notary seal was perfectly acceptable, the
fact that it was a copy was not - it had to be the original.  That being
said, I cannot imagine the court would accept an oath in declaration format,
or one not notarized.

 

Randy

Subject: [WSBAPT] Another Out of Country PR issue

 

Dear all:

 

I am preparing to file a probate on behalf of a potential PR who lives in a
rural part of Mexico. We normally have the PR sign and have notarized the
Oath of Personal Representative, but she is having difficulty finding a
notary in her locale. Would the Oath be sufficient for RCW 11.28.1701
purposes if it is signed and witnessed (not notarized)? Any bright ideas how
to address this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 

Very truly yours,
