[WSBAPT] Another Out of Country PR issue

[John Creahan]

Take a look at RCW 9A.72.085 which would appear to allow a declaration, although there are exceptions which could potentially apply.

I'm not sure that works.

RCW 11.28.170
Oath of personal representative.
Before letters testamentary or of administration are issued, each personal representative or an officer of a bank or trust company qualified to act as a personal representative, must take and subscribe an oath, before some person authorized to administer oaths, that the duties of the trust as personal representative will be performed according to law, which oath must be filed in the cause.

Do the Oath in the form of a Declaration.

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,
