[WSBAPT] Death certificate required in King County?

[G. Geoffrey Gibbs]

Somewhat off your particular question but in Snohomish County they will always ask for a death certificate and often, if the decedent was married but widowed, they will ask for some form of proof that the spouse is deceased and not one with preference to serve as PR.  The level of proof for the latter is usually far lower than that required for the decedent.  We often just redact the few bits of sensitive information or file the death certificate under seal.  GGG

Yes, but they do not always ask for it.
