[WSBAPT] Non-resident probate

[Heather deVrieze]

Two main factors are where the decedent was domiciled at time of death, and where the assets are.
If the answer to either of those is Washington State, you can likely open probate in any county in the state. Otherwise, it needs to be Arizona.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Non-resident probate

I just want to verify whether a probate can be opened in WA for a resident of Arizona who died in Arizona.  The will was written in WA and all beneficiaries live here.  I have received conflicting advice and this is for a family member.  Thanks!
